2.7L blown engine failure list . . 68 so far [Updated: December 13, 2022]
Statistically, highly likely, but stats are not reflective of individual reality. You are definitely out of the infant mortality stage.
Just saw this, and I didn't see it posted previously in the thread. I'm not sure when it was posted to the NHTSA site, but the letter is dated Aug 8. Basically, it's the information request to Ford from the NHTSA - 13 specific sets of info in various formats. Due date for the info is Sept 28, but I'm assuming given Ford's inability to do anything on time that they will ask for an extension.

This looks more serious
An eleven-page NHTSA Letter sent via Certified Mail w RRR , the standard delivery method when you anticipate a legal proceeding, to provide the Court with proof of delivery. Sent to Ford's Global Director of Automotive Safety
The two earlier ODI Resume 's were only one-page
This eleven-page August 8th Letter looks more formal
Is this formal letter standard in a NHTSA investigation ? Or does this imply that Ford's cooperation is less than desired ? now NHTSA is revving-up the legal machinery ?

I think we may have worked through the bad batch. I have 20k on my WT #21228 and no problems.
It’s a government agency that has processes and protections up the wazoo
I’m not familiar with NHTSA processes but this looks like a standard Request For Information (RFI) as part of their investigation. The Certified Mail w/ RRR is more than likely to avoid Ford (and all the other manufacturers that get this type of RFI) an “out” that they never saw it.

Well I bought my Bronco this past Sunday. I had no idea about any of this or I may have passed on this particular one. Mine was being driven by the GM of the dealership I bought it from. It has 2200 miles on it currently and it’s #21322… keeping my fingers crossed.

How funny, I just bought a Bronco on Saturday, mine was a program car, driven by the managers of the dealership. Has 2312 miles #21132. Unlike you I was aware of this issue, just keeping my fingers crossed.

Congrats on your new Bronco, I don't know what your plans are for it, but I wouldn't worry about resale value. Not only are you outside the "Hot Zone" I'd think an early '21 with a failed and replaced engine would be more desirable 5 years down the road than one on the original engine. Regardless of mileage. FWIW, I'm a 21169 with 5400 miles, I'm keeping mine.
You should be fine, I'm 21319 and just shy of 14k miles. And no, I am far from easy on mine. Addicted the slight whistle of the turbos and well, the Sasquatch package. I go to Holly Oaks every chance I get and I am planning the Sand Dunes here in MI in a couple weeks. Loving every bit. If it fails, warranty. Not that I won't be annoyed with the down time, but I bought this to run it. Bound to break something.
