Even Toyota replaced full truck frames instead of buying back vehicles Toyota pays $3.4 billion in class-action suit over rusty truck frames (autoblog.com) and they replaced frames without removing the engine or transmissionI deal with warranties like this often though only at a bike shop.
When we replace a broken frame we hear it all the time...."I just want a new bike."
Unfortunately that's not how it works. There is no reason to give the customer and entire new product when only part of it is broken. The manufacturer would much rather replace a new $2000 frame that's broken than replace an $8000 bike in it's entirety for no other reason than the customer wants one.
I can see the frustration. It's a bummer. Especially on a Bronco. But Ford has no reason, and no capacity, to replace full vehicles because of a partial failure. I understand that an engine and turbo are a substantial part of the vehicle as a whole but there's is no reason why Ford should deliver you a full vehicle.
I know it's easier to say this from my couch, than it is from your perspective, but I'd rather have a new engine and turbo in a month than wait who knows how long for a new Bronco.
