Updated 7/29 [Engine Seized, Full Replacement Under Warranty] My Bronco shut down after sand dunes run
Awfully fast engine swap.In case anyone cares, this is the labor time Ford pays us to R&R an engine.

Warranty is usually 50% light, powertrain even more.
They love to pinch their own pennies and people don’t realize it. Automakers won’t pay to really dig in and diagnose an issue. Then the customers is pissed off at the dealer. Its very rare I’ll go off on a service manager. I sure do love ripping into an aftersales zone rep though.

I am not sure I understand what you are saying. The damaged engine is going back to Ford so their engineers can inspect it. Do you want a tech at a dealership to investigate or a ford engineer?
Flip posted the “book time” to remove and reinstall an engine. I commented on how Ford is cheap asses and don’t want to give the time on what warranty work really takes. Not sure how you got that I want a tech to look at an engine.

I doubt that's goong to happen. There are lemon laws, but just the way it is. As a customer, unless you have some big influence, if you are not happy all you can do is sell it once it's fixed...but then you are going to be Bronco-less again.

Not yet... You have to break in the new new engine now.
Too bad they don't roll back the spedo.
I have a question concerning GOAT. The OP stated they were riding sand dunes before the engine failed. I am guessing they selected a GOAT mode while running the dunes. When in dunes with our 4x4 vehicles, we pressure down the tires to 15-20 pounds in order to improve traction and not damage drive trains. Regardless of GOAT mode selection, wouldn’t tire pressure reduction still be required? Could not reducing tire pressure while in the sand have something to do with this engine failure? Just asking thanks.
