Angryboosty Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Is the a recall on 2018 2.0 eco boost engine coolant leak into head in effect ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabangsta Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 No, there is not a recall, customer satisfaction program, extended coverage, or anything other than the TSB for the coolant intrusion issue. There is only a TSB...which gives dealers guidelines on various indicators and tests, and if under the factory warranty or extended warranty, it is covered, else it is on the owner to pay up. I think the latest TSB is 19-2346 (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10169807-0001.pdf) the biggest item is of course the replacement long block and 13.3 to 15 hours labor.

STBEAST Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 What a shit deal. Sounds like a design flaw to me. They are just hoping it goes out of warranty before the failure happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garycrist Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 I have often wondered if engineers received trips to Hawaii for making stupid design flaws to shorten the life of vehicles. It is too bad we have devolved into a throw-away culture without pride in workmanship! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TourGuide Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 This issue - which seems to impact a range of ecoboost motors - is the result of design flaws with the block. My wife bought an escape with the 1.5 in it and this motor has had 2 short blocks replaced (1 by us - under warranty) and a new head - also under warranty. I have already started talking to her about making a decision about that car before the esp runs out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are certainly bonuses when cost cutting measures are created. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
