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.
According to documents posted by NHTSA and sourced from the automaker, “The engine intake valves may break while driving, which can result in engine failure and a loss of drive power.” Following an investigation that started in January, 2022, Ford found 22 instances where “the engine intake valves fractured and fell into the combustion chamber of the engine causing catastrophic engine damage.”
