So the theory is if the engine craps and leaks everywhere, there’s a risk of fire, so they’re upping ventilation to stop combustible gasses building up… New and intersting ways that cars fail all because Ford and its suppliers can’t follow basic quality rules / standards. This is all of Hackett’s “cost cutting” coming back to haunt Jim Farley, Ford’s name continually getting trashed now…. |

towards the original $11 billion assigned to electrification. I doubt that Ford would even acknowledge that there was ever a problem with that trade off…..their buyers might disagree. |

They're not the only ones. Landrover continue to sell a V6 with crankshafts that have been breaking in two (consistently in the same way/location, so much so you can almost join two halves from two different failed engines) for maybe 10 years without redesign. You wonder how the beancounters think....

The crank and rods the 3.0 V6 were upgraded to forgings when used as Powerstroke in F150 and new Ranger… Incidentally, cracking in the cast cranks was traced to a machining fault on the front rod pair rear journal. |
