Ford Recalls More Than 90,000 Vehicles. Is Your Truck or SUV on the List?
Ford recalls some Bronco, F-150, Explorer, Edge, Lincoln Nautilus and Lincoln Aviator vehicles due to faulty engine intake valves.


Ford recently announced a recall of 90,736 vehicles equipped with either a 2.7L or 3.0L Nano EcoBoost engine. According to an announcement by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the issue involves the vehicle's engine intake valves that could break while driving, causing the risk of engine failure.
Ford said that an investigation into the issue began back in January 2022, following 22 cases of engine failure due to fractured engine intake values on Lincoln Aviator and Nautilus models equipped with the 2.7- or 3.0-liter EcoBoost engines, according to documents submitted to the NHTSA. The documents revealed that the materials used by the valve supplier were not up to specifications at the time.
Ford investigated identical issues with 2021 Bronco models and found 251 instances of fractured engine intake values during warranty repairs. In May 2022, NHTSA opened a "Defect Petition" as a result of ongoing complaints from Bronco customers. Ford responded to the NTHSA inquiry in January 2024, noting that there was a "higher than ambient level of repairs observed for vehicles produced between May 1 and October 31, 2021."
