You have 90k miles on a 2021? Damn man, you drove a LOT.
Yes, and I haven't driven it much since November (out of the country currently).

I guess with some broncos 3 years old now, 100k units probably do exist.

I am looking to purchase a 2.7L ecoboost assembled between May 13, 2021 and October 8, 2021 (Julian date range of 21133-21281) that has experienced sudden engine failure containing the defective valves.

. . . and if it contains valves from the defective batch . . .
Very interesting post
All the best in your search

Some constructive feedback . . s'il vous plaît . .
• the upper-limit of 21281 is too high
• for defective valves, the Julian date range ends 21228
• the new 'corrected' valves began w Julian date 21266
• essentially no engines were made from 21229 thru 21265

• the defective valves "Hot Zone" was 21159 thru 21228

see this post, and this post, and this post

If it hasn't failed yet, it's not going to fail, but it's well known as to what failed and why. I also have a hot zone engine... LOL, I will let you know when it fails (it currently has 90k miles), I doubt you want that for your case.
Well, you've got me beat, Mark! I've only got 47,000 on my 2021 OBX! (Built July, 2021, then 3mos Dirt Mountain!) Excellent car! I'm loving the 33's. And now, we cant get the auto transfer case on the non-SAS anymore!
