This is what I meant when I typed my response wish the did not exist at all from what I hear they are all early build broncos I don’t think any from October on have been affected latest build I saw posted was September I think. I could be wrong my 2.7 will be hear Next week

I figured as much, just had to rub a little Good luck, hope it's solid for you. My 21 22+ is still in the ordering phase according to the tracker

Scary stuff. Everyone should cancel ASAP.

This makes at least twelve reported here in B6G -

Wait for the dealer demos to hit general population and begin accruing mileage. I bet we'll see more from that segment of builds. All are built at the end of June with the 2.7L (except manual demos, obviously).

3000 dealers w at least one demo each - sometimes two -

Here in B6G we see at least nine in last three weeks. And no way we're seeing even half of em here - I wouldn't think

Remember that Oct 28 facebook post by the Ford Svc Tech - said nationwide he'd seen "about thirty in the last month in the Ford Service Technician's Forum". It looks like that facebook post was legit -

And there is also the data point that if there was a problem while it was in service as a demo, we or the general population would not know about it.

Is the Bronco 2.7 different from the F150 2.7?
Has Ford dealt with F150 2.7 issues?
The 2.7 isn't new, it has a history. Bueno o no bueno?

Is the end of June a more common failure on the facebook groups?

Looking at mpeugeots tracking thread I see:
7/28
6/10
6/15
and this thread sounds like a recent build
So wtf is going on?

different valves?

 

[Bronco21fan]

different valves?

Not sure just that it’s been posted on these forums that it’s not the same as the f150 supposebbly there was a bad bunch of valves set out made out of bad material that’s causing the engine failure not sure if that’s true or not but it’s what’s been going around the forums

Ford has screwed this Bronco release up so bad, that they are even starting to tarnish the vaunted 2.7 EcoBoost, which has been a very exceptional engine.

All of the dealer demos were built mid/end of June. 6 months of in-service for the FCTP program means most will be available from now through January. Keep in mind, that some demos were sold early if the dealer was able to source 2 as apparently only 1 is required to meet the in-service requirement and be outfitted with accessories.

Now the OP's failed engine post from FB is missing details such as when the build date was and whether it was just a coolant hose coming loose or whether it was the engine failure that caused the coolant leak.

There is also @ToddGinGA mention of his FE having an engine failure on page 2. No details if his was built and stranded at Dirt Mountain or whether it was a recent build. More details are needed.

That's an interesting prediction, but I'm really interested in the confirmed dates so far...
