In response to concerns raised by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Ford has announced a recall of 90,736 vehicles due to a potentially dangerous defect in the engine intake valves. The affected vehicles include certain models of the 2021-2022 Bronco, F-150, Edge, Explorer, Lincoln Nautilus, and Lincoln Aviator that are equipped with either a 2.7L or 3.0L Nano EcoBoost engine.
The NHTSA's warning stems from the risk of engine intake valves breaking while the vehicles are in operation, posing a serious safety hazard to drivers and passengers. To address this issue, Ford dealers will conduct an engine cycle test on the affected vehicles and replace the engine if necessary, at no cost to the vehicle owners. This proactive approach aims to ensure the safety and reliability of the impacted vehicles on the road.
Owners of the affected vehicles are advised to contact their local Ford dealership to schedule an appointment for the necessary inspections and repairs. By taking swift and decisive action, Ford aims to uphold its commitment to ensuring the quality and safety of its vehicles for all customers.
This recall serves as a reminder of the importance of regular vehicle maintenance and manufacturer-recommended service checks. By staying informed and addressing any potential issues promptly, drivers can help ensure the safety and longevity of their vehicles on the road.
