    The valves were shit on the Bronco sport like 2 years ago. I wonder if this is fallout from that. All the “American” companies are such shit now, not to mention a good portion are made in Mexico.

      Ford and Chrysler had a lot of recalls and that’s about it. Ford introduced a bunch of PHEV vehicles so it’s probably a blip. Toyota also had a metric ton of recalls this year for similar reasons. BMW was a top 3 as well iirc.

    They will perform tests and then decide if replacement is necessary? So are the valves bad or not?

    I wonder what sort of a test it will be.

      Id imagine a normal compression and leak down test would tell you if the valves are bad but a full engine replacement as an option makes me think something is breaking and making its way into the cylinders so maybe a borescope to check for damage.

    When Tesla has recalls, somehow the stock goes up. I wonder if it will work for Ford
