Yep, I was just referring to engines available in the bronco.

had this issue on my 2018 Lariat (3.5) and after it was fixed under warranty, I swear the engine had an extra 30HP .. it was like a new engine and it ran strong.
I posted this in another VTC Phaser thread but wanted to include here as well. It’s a good video that shows you what is happening during start up and it compares the old style versus the newer style phaser.
My 2022 2.7 BL started this at 8k and now has 11k. I have now gone to two different Ford Dealerships to get this job done. Both continue to tell me “we have so much engine work we are backed out.” Or “we only have two phasers and the parts are on order but we don’t when they will be in.” And I have been rescheduled the night before drop off over 4 times now. They also said this issue is more common on the 3.5 and they have not seen it on a 2.7 bronco. And yes, engine must come out.
Not cool.

This seems to be pretty common from reading other places as well. My Bronco definitely pulls in sport mode. Sounds like the power loss is the most obvious symptom.

Can you explain what you meant by Power loss?
I’m reviewing the video about the cam phasers above rn but I’m only hearing info about rattling.
I’ve had a few scary moments where I hit the accelerator and the Bronco engine does not engage as expected. Not sure why? Gearing. Computer.? I’d like to have more info before I walk into the dealership.

I've caught this a few times at start up on my 23 2.7 with 1900 miles. Well, last night I remote started and was standing in the lot talking to some friends and the thing sounded like R Lee Ermey was calling reveille with his baton in a trash can!
Reveille, reveille!!
It lasted all through cold idle and then was even still there but not as loud.
I had a 5.4 eat a cam button years back...this sounded very similar.
Anyone seen this with such low mileage? What should be my expectations of the dealer/Ford to make this right?
I have a good relationship with my dealer, previously at least. I haven't made the call yet. Wanted to be armed with info I can gather here.

I took delivery of my bronco in January of this year, and the first time I started it without the remote start I also noticed the rattle. My bronco had 250 miles on it and is currently getting repaired.
My dealer confirmed my 2022 Bronco’s issue is with the cam phasers. Parts are now on order.

Went back to the dealership today. Some parts for the repair were on back order and finally came in. Problem now is the tech has two trucks in front of me that need engine swaps. My broncos been there for two months and they said it’d probably be two more weeks to get it back.
Hopefully your repair goes faster than mine has.

Well they broke my windshield during that recall repair so I'm waiting on that and cam phasers are of course on backorder. Said it could be a week or 6 months.
Still no Bronco. The tech finished the phasers and had everything put back together…. Then it jumped timing. Dealership said they’d know next week if there was damage. They said it’d take 3-5 days to get a long block here if I needed to have the whole engine replaced. At this point I’m not sure I’ll ever get this damn thing back!
Holy crap. I'm not sure how I'd deal with that. I guess I'd want a new motor if it jumped timing, but I'd be concerned about how that happened in the first place.
