Another cam phaser failure, horrible Ford quality issue

[Mpali]

22 Wildtrak 5500 miles and what looks like cam phaser failure. This is so frustrating, what horrible quality issues Ford has. To have a brand new vehicle to be torn apart already. Does anyone know if they are using the updated phaser in these engines or is it the old design? Anyone have cam phaser replaced more then once already on their Bronco?

They’ve been updated accordingly to the parts catalog. No idea what was changed or if it fixed anything however. I guess time will tell.

So you are saying the update phasers are in our engines already? If so that’s not good since so many of these engine phasers are failing so early

No. I’m saying they have been updated since the bronco was originally built. The phasers show a supersession.

Oh joy, mine was built in September of 2021 I have 9,200 miles Something to look forward to? It took my 2017 Raptor 48,000 to have this problem in the shop now Ford is only covering part of the cost repair out of warranty coverage. Wtf

My first car was a 1956 Ford with a 6 volt battery. How many of you folks remember that???

It seemed remarkable when the 6 volt battery would actually start the engine. You only had one or two good tries before the battery was done…. Two accelerator pumps, a short prayer and give it a go….. There was always the push start to fall back on.

Now I have to hope the cam phasers don’t fail. A short prayer???

Engine sounds normal to me.

Have you guys tried Ceratec? It worked to quiet down ticking 5.0s

Hi there, Mike. This cam phaser concern doesn’t sound like something we want you to experience with your Bronco. Could you please send us a PM with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer? I'd be happy to look into how I can assist you on my end.

Powertrain warranty won’t cover all the repair? Can’t remember if it’s 50K miles 6 yr for powertrain warranty or might be more. I know I used it once on my Raptor for other issue. Dealer at time was ready to charge it up but I reminded them about powertrain and it was all covered.
