Ford thinks most 2021-22 SUVs and trucks fitted with faulty intake valves have already failed so declined to replace every engine

The NHTSA has closed an engineering probe into the reliability of Ford 2.7 and 3.0 Nano EcoBoost engines. Faulty intake valves on some 2021-22 Ford Bronco, F-150, Edge, Explorer, Lincoln Nautilus, and Lincoln Aviator vehicles had dropped into combustion chambers. Ford is recalling cars to check their engines but opted to give owners a 10-yr, 150,000-mile warranty rather than renew all working powertrains immediately.

Potentially affected models included the Ford Bronco, F-150, Edge, Explorer, Lincoln Nautilus, and Lincoln Aviator. Ford’s own investigators traced the problem to a batch of incorrectly machined intake valves that fractured at the keeper groove due to a hardening of the structure caused by a grinding burn. The broken valve could drop into the engine where it made a big old mess. Ford showed the NHTSA evidence of 825 warranty claims and 936 engine exchanges.
