When has Ford publicly stated there’s an issue and their working on it? I’ve only seen the link posted from the Lima plant news.
Esteban, Ford's Bronco brand manager said it a week ago in this BN video about 3/4 the way thru.

Engine builds are a month or two before Bronco build iirc, so the latest one is probably Sept or October build. Filling in the gaps nicely.

my engine was built Nov 15 a d bronco built Nov 22 took delivery Dec 17 with 3 miles on it and it know has 615 miles so far so good knock on wood and I got one of the better mic 2.0 tops. So far I been putting 93 octane in it and running it in normal eco and wet slippery modes. Can’t wait to try sport but waiting to get to 1000 miles first

He said they have a team that monitors the forums…he didn’t address the engine issue specifically.

My engine was built on June 8th and my car was built on June 18th. I would say it is more likely an October build.

Anyone else’s 2.7 have a strange rattle sound on a cold start up?
It’s not ticking yet… but the rattling is pretty loud. But goes away after it warms up.

My bad. He said sputtering and shaking then it died. Did not say massive. Apparently I'm too caught up in this fiasco and worrying about my truck that just got built.

How long does the noise last? 1-2 sec, 1-2 min? 10 min?

I will say, when mine blew, it was a strong shutter and then died. It almost felt like I hit something.

Angelo,
Would you please share a picture of your engine build label?
Thank you,
George

If they changed the suffix they likely changed something, and the -AB supercedes

EDIT: If anyone has taken delivery of a 22 w/2.7 could they check their tag part # and julian date? or just post a pic here?
