Ford is recalling over 90,000 vehicles because of engine problems

Ford has issued a recall for more than 90,000 vehicles due to concerns over potentially faulty engine intake valves. The issue centers around intake valves that could break while the vehicle is in motion, posing a significant safety risk. The recall impacts several Ford and Lincoln SUV models from the 2021 to 2022 production years, as well as the popular Ford F-150 pickup truck.

According to the safety agency, a failure of the engine could cause engine oil and fuel vapor to leak into the engine compartment. These flammable substances could accumulate near ignition sources, such as hot engine parts or exhaust components, increasing the risk of a fire in the engine compartment. The recall aims to address this potential hazard to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers.

I will be working on engines forever, yay.

The Explorers and Broncos are really bad, but I don’t mind in the F150s.

As I read the first few words, “ford recalls…” I became a little thrilled, assuming it was going to be for the 10R80.

No joking! My response was the same. The dealership estimated that fixing the gearbox problem on my 2018 F150 would cost $4,500.00. I’m waiting on components from Mr. Transmission, which will be considerably less expensive.

Hey, you could always purchase a $3k constructed shifter and install it yourself; that’s my plan anyway.

In terms of 10r80 builds, who is the expert? I’m over the warranty period and my 2019 will ultimately require it. I’m leaning toward having one constructed so I won’t have to worry about perspiring every time I haul stuff, even if I love the vehicle otherwise.

I’ve been searching at monster transmissions lately, so I’m not sure, but the one from JEGS also seems fairly good. line pressure raised by 30% and deep sump pans

The monster, is it from Dave’s garage? If true, they were forced to remove the “monster” from their logo because of a certain energy drink manufacturer :roll_eyes:. That’s helpful to know in case their website’s search results aren’t shown correctly.

Making acquaintances with your local guru can help you customize your valve body and extend the life of your standard one. This is the finest course of action. My Marauder chirped third, thanks to my old trans man, and that was a 4r75e, so just a 4spd.
