Well not the news i was hoping to hear but WWWPerfA_ZN0W thanks for confirming it is indeed a plastic cover and nice engine pics.

DRbillZ, i maybe wrong but i think gas tank does not go through the same heat cycle as the engine valve cover. My concern is that after a while the plastic cover start to deteriorate and develop leaks later. If 5 or 6 more years down the road no one has any plastic valve cover crack on their 2011 edge, then cheers I worried too much.

I took a closer look today on the engine. Unlike the previous generations, the front and back valve cover is now a plastic like material which I hope I am wrong. Does anyone know if those are indeed plastic not metals? Thanks!

Hey everyone, it had been a long day. I pop the hood and looked at the TB, it says "AT4E-9F991-EK" I assume that's the part number?

Wow thanks everyone for the replys! I will check the part number on my TB tonight. I have done some research and so far I lean toward the electronic control module circut board corrosion theory. I have seen a youtube video yesterday for a ford transit TB (not the same as edge but close) fail and by opening up the electronic control module box he can see nasty corrosion on the circut board which of cause will lead to the malfuntion of the electronic control module. @Todd the ford service rep, it will be a win win if Ford come forward and let customer know what is going on and lay out a plan on how to resolve this safty issue instead of keeping everyone in the dark.

By any chance ford put the updated TB on Edge that are made toward the end of 2015? My 2015 Edge has about 5000 miles on it now and no issue so far ( i hope it stays that way). Does anyone know the part number for the updated TB so we could check the one we had to see if wheter or not we have the updated one? Thanks!
