Another blown 2.7 UPDATE

[350DGRZ]

I don't think so. Seems like good hard working people at MAP, many of whom have been doing this a long time.
It's a 1st year vehicle full stop

The Bronco is a first year vehicle but, the 2.7 has been around awhile...

I researched the F150 2.7 when this issue first arose, and I found earlier 2.7 versions suffered valve issues. The Bronco 2.7 is not the exact same motor, but I bet the valves are. If I can find the article I referenced I will post it here.

I have. I keep seeing the fanboys using the 150 motor being the same and no issues defense. However, as the motors keep piling up, they’ve gone a little quiet. I actually was not very concerned at first- mine has a mid February build date-but I’m actually getting concerned now!

Understandably

My 2.7 is a 21333 build serial. I'm hoping I'll be ok.... but you never know. Just gonna keep sending it I guess.

At this point, I'm starting to think Bronco has been 100% a "B Team" effort at Ford.

I'm guessing the A-team has long since been reassigned to EVs.

I guess we will find out we have a Mach E on order too.

I thought the 2.7 was a proven motor what’s going.

You gonna send to the dealership if you keep that up ? Baby the Bronco until ford figures this out

People keep saying it’s essentially the same motor as in the F150. If that’s so then it’s not first year. But there’s no info on 150’s blowing motors.

It's not the same 2.7 that's in the F150's. There's a video out there somewhere that talks about the differences.

The Bronco got the 2.7 v. 2.0. There's a video out there somewhere that explains the differences.

So similar story to all the other ones here, car ordered in Jan 21, 4dr Black Diamond, October build, delivered early November, car has 1700 miles - Driving in a highway, racket starts, manage to pull over, wouldn't restart.

Dealer called, dropped valve, engine replacement needed.

I was on the road, so car is at a dealer about 30 miles from my house, that has been very nice, but i don't know at all.

So what are the options that people have been following? I did place a call to Customer Service, but they will take a few days to follow up.

I have owned a lot of cars, and this has never happened to me before - so advise welcome.

Thanks

Sorry to hear this. Can you tell me more details? You were on the highway, were you accelerating or climbing a hill? I'm assuming 10th gear?

How does one go about finding out when the engine was built?

I remember that I have been told multiple times that this is statistically insignificant... So maybe a few hundred more reported motors before anyone should be concerned... Right?
