# Major recall impacting thousands of drivers could cause 'catastrophic' engine failure

> A recall affecting approximately 90,700 Ford and Lincoln vehicles has been initiated due to potential engine failures caused by defective intake valves. The recall includes 2021-2022 models of Ford Bronco, Edge, Explorer, F-150, and Lincoln Aviator and Nautilus with 2.7-liter and 3-liter Nano EcoBoost engines. There have been no reported accidents or injuries from the issue, but Ford will replace faulty engines for free. Notifications to vehicle owners will be issued in early October, with reimbursement available for prior repairs.

A recall of roughly 90,700 Ford and Lincoln vehicles is underway.

The Michigan-based automaker said in a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall report that the recall was prompted by the risk that the engines in the affected 2021-2022 Ford Bronco, Ford Edge, Ford Explorer, Ford F-150, Lincoln Aviator and Lincoln Nautilus vehicles "may contain intake valves that have a propensity to crack and break."

"An engine intake valve that fails may lead to catastrophic engine damage resulting in a loss of motive power," Ford said in the recall report. "A loss of motive power can increase the risk of a crash."

The problem with the engine intake valve is most likely to appear early in the vehicle's life if the component is susceptible to cracking, Ford told FOX Business.

The issue has not caused any accidents or injuries to date, according to documents Ford filed with the NHTSA.

"Our goal is to prevent quality issues from happening in the first place," Ford said in a statement to FOX Business. "When they do occur, our focus is on responding quickly with a recall or service action to prevent our customers from experiencing issues with the least inconvenience possible. We are proud that our launch quality has reached best-in-class levels, and our long-term quality is showing improvement."

Dealers will install a new engine in recalled vehicles that do not pass an engine cycle test for free. When getting their vehicles fixed, impacted customers will have access to Ford's pick-up, delivery and rental services, according to the company.

The automaker will tell owners of affected Ford and Lincoln vehicles about the recall in early October using letters, according to the NHTSA recall report.
