Sadly not even that. Bean counters also take into account death/injury lawsuits vs. recall costs.Gotta love how those bean counters think. Someone needs to get hurt before any action is taken.
Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.Has anyone with a 2.7 reported the sudden loss of power yet didn't actually blow their engine or drop a valve? I've had it happen to me a couple of times now while off-roading where suddenly I had almost now power to the pedal and a handful of warning/error messages both times, but after stopping for a minute and restarting the engine and driving a bit everyone went back to normal. I referenced one of my experiences in the thread below.
I just realized I have a 2.7 that was built on the 209th day of 2021 (July 28th last year) which happens to be one of the two dates with the most reported 2.7 failures. I haven't had any issues in the last 4,000+ miles and just did 2 tanks worth of wheeling last weekend near Mammoth, CA at high elevation and 240+ engine temps at times on some of the longer climbs with zero issues. I'm at 7,000 miles currently. The couple of issues I did have with sudden power loss were in the 1,000 to 2,000 mileage range.

Hi there! Do you know if there's a recall planned on these faulty (according to your Lima plant manager) valves???I can look into things on my end
Good luck with that.Hi there! Do you know if there's a recall planned on these faulty (according to your Lima plant manager) valves???
Thanks much
Well, I don’t think @Carolina Jim expects a response. Nor do I or anyone on this thread for that matter, but it is always good to see this thread is in fact still monitored by @Ford Motor Company. I really wish FoMoCo could do the decent thing that humans are capable of doing when they made a mistake. But FoMoCo is not human.Good luck with that.
@Ford Motor Company is a lot like my wife in that that they both ask a lot of questions they don't really want an answer to.Well, I don’t think @Carolina Jim expects a response.

WRONG. Ford Motor Company is more like a 10-year-old who asks a lot of questions because they don't have a F'ing clue what's going on@Ford Motor Company is a lot like my wife in that that they both ask a lot of questions they don't really want an answer to.
Especially since they have known about this problem for months...and have declined to issue a recall. I can only think of 2 reasons for this:Ford should tow ALL blown 2.7s home
its like Dirty Harry said..."You just have to decide...are you feeling lucky?"How do you know for sure that a 2021 has the new replacement valves?
Good comment for Jo's 2.7 blown engine owners experiences thread;Good job pulling from multiple sources Lucchese.
Sad to see this number keep climbing, but it's not unexpected.
I hope Ford reconsiders their towing policy. That's the part that still burns me the most. I was 3+ hours from home, in 25 degree weather with my dogs on a Sunday, and I had to pay $713 to get home. Ford should tow ALL blown 2.7s home, with no excuses or exclusions.
