"(Reuters) - Ford will recall 90,736 vehicles as engine intake valves in the vehicles may break while driving, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Saturday." "The recall impacts certain 2021-2022 Bronco, F-150, Edge, Explorer, Lincoln Nautilus, and Lincoln Aviator vehicles equipped with either a 2.7L or 3.0L Nano EcoBoost engine, the NHTSA said." "As part of the remedy, dealers will perform an engine cycle test and replace the engine as necessary, free of charge, the regulator said." finance.yahoo.com/news/ford-recall-90-736-vehicles-095011090.html |

Must be pretty bad. Ford has had many engineering failures that they let consumer eat.

At least they’re portraying themselves as stepping up. Chevy still largely ignores their “engineering” fuel/cylinder deactivation delimna.

I think they all try to slide past their failures without being responsible for them.
Chrysler has a valve problem with one of their engines. Daughter bought a new mini van. Just out of warranty the motor failed. Chryslers answer? Unbelievably “buy a new vehicle”!
They know that they have the problem but they won’t own up to it.
The estimated repair cost at the dealership was around 5k. I’m having a local mechanic repair it for her then they will trade it in on a replacement vehicle. Obviously not a Chrysler product. ( Unless they get a truck with a Cummins diesel).
Unfortunately I bought a 2022 Ram with a Hemi just before we found this out. I don’t think the Hemi has the problem. I believe it is the smaller motors

So Ford will bring my vehicle in. Do an engine cycle test(what ever that made up test is) and tell me I'm good. On the way home it drops an intake valve, quess I'm on my own since it was ok when they did their test. I been doing cyl head work over 40 years, I know of no test to see if a valve is going to drop or not. Exhaust valves are more prone to dropping than intake.

This recall isn’t new. A reissue maybe. It happened before a couple years ago on the new bronco.. The valve supplier supplied inferior valves for the 2.7 ecoboost. The 2.7 has been a good engine for Ford.

I had Ford trucks for 25 years but will not buy another one.

The Broncos have been a bust. I ordered one before the kung flu, but sold my build. I've known 3 people who have lemon Lawed them

The cycle test is some kid practicing his drifting in the back parking lot.
My 2021 chevy truck has a recall. Tailgate latch might fail and open when driving. I'm sleepless at night worrying.
