Ford Bronco Engines Failing With Under 10K Miles On The Clock

TheFord Bronco可能是一个of the hottest off-roaders at the moment, withdemand far exceeding supply. But it seems you might want to rethink your order if you have one coming with the 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine.

A thread concerning the 310-hp 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 Ecoboost powertrain blowing up first appeared on December 29, 2021. One blown engine is not a cause for concern, as there could be various reasons. But as of April 22, there are reports from 46 different Bronco owners, all complaining about the same engine.

TheBronco6Gforum now has a comprehensive list of failures, including the average mileage at which the engines fail. Rather worryingly, most of the problems are related to dropping a valve, which appears to happen at less than 10,000 miles.

Thankfully, for the owners, this means the failure is still within Ford'swarranty period. Ford covers the Bronco with a basic three-year/36,000-mile warranty, a five-year corrosion warranty, a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, roadside assistance for five years, or 60,000 miles.

"We are aware of a select number of engines with this concern, and we are investigating. If any customers are experiencing issues, they will be covered under the vehicle's 5-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty," Ford said toThe Drive.

It seems like Ford is aware of the problem and is likely investigating it. This will result in issuing either a recall or a technical service bulletin.
