3 Investigations for 2021 FORD Explorer

On july 17, 2023, the office of defect investigation (odi) opened this recall query (rq) after receiving 2 consumer complaints alleging loss of vehicle forward power and/or loss of transmission torque of the rear wheels in model year (my) 2020-2022 ford explorer vehicles (subject vehicles). the rq was opened to focus on the effectiveness of the remedies of recalls 22v-255 and 23v-199 related to the alleged problem. recall 22v-255 involved replacing the bushing and axle cover in the following subject vehicles: 3.3l fhev police built before october 14, 2020, and 3.3l gas police vehicle built before january 31, 2021. for 2.3l rwd, 3.0l phev, 3.3lfhev, and 3.0lst retail (non-police) vehicles, the recall provided an pcm software update to engage the electronic park brake (epb) when park is commanded. the recall addressed a breakage of the rear axle bolt that can cause the driveshaft/half shafts to disconnect, resulting in a loss of transmission torque to the rear wheels necessary to hold park. if the parking brake is not applied, the loss of the primary park torque will allow the vehicle to roll in park increasing the risk of crash and injury. recall 23v-199 addressed 674 of the subject vehicles produced from february 2, 2019 to april 4, 2022, which received an incorrect remedy under recall 22v-255. the affected vehicles had received a previous powertrain control module (pcm) update which did not include an automatic epb engagement when vehicle is shifted to park. on october 17, 2023, ford filed a new safety recall (recall 23v-675) covering 238,364 my 2020-2022 explorer vehicles with the following powertrains: 3.3l fhev police, 3.3l gas police, 3.0l gas police, 2.3l rwd, 3.0l phev, 3.3l fhev, 3.0l rwd and 3.0l awd, produced from october 22, 2018 to july 6, 2022, equipped with a 3-point mounted axle design. ford stated that the cause of the bolt fracture is due to joint design not robust to peak axle input torques and manufacturing variability. the primary contributor is insufficient bearings for maximum joint loads. this can result in bearing deformation, increasing bending stress on the bolt, which may lead to fatigue failure. on january 19, 2023, ford amended recall 23v-675 to add 1,942 my 2020-2022 explorer vehicles with the following powertrain: 3.0l rwd platinum and king ranch variant, produced from october 22, 2018 to july 6, 2022, equipped with a 3-point mounted axle design. in addition to the safety recall, ford will conduct a customer satisfaction program for the following my 2020-2022 explorer vehicles with the following powertrains: 2.3l awd, 3.3l gas retail, 3.0l gas awd platinum and king ranch, produced from october 22, 2018 to july 6, 2022. ford stated that the explorer powerpack variants not covered under recalled 23v-675 do not present an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety due to the combination of lower peak torque levels and torque management strategies to share inputs between front and rear axles, reducing occurrence of higher torque. according to ford, this is also evidenced by the lower current and projected failure rates. in view of the recall action being taken by ford, odi is closing this rq. nhtsa will continue to monitor complaints from the customer satisfaction program vehicles and reopen this issue, if necessary. the agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances. to review the reports cited in the closing resume odi report identification number document, go to nhtsa.gov.

On july 22, 2022, the office of defects investigation (odi) granted a defect petition (dp22001) and opened a preliminary evaluation (pe22007) to investigate allegations of loss of motive power in model year (my) 2021 ford bronco vehicles equipped with 2.7l ecoboost engines. complainants were reporting sudden engine failure while driving resulting in a loss of motive power, often without the ability to restart. during pe22007, the cause of engine failure and loss of motive power in the subject vehicles was determined to be intake valve fracture, and the full scope of vehicles affected by the subject defect was identified as all my 2021-2022 ford and lincoln models equipped with either the 2.7l or 3.0l ecoboost engines, referred to as the “nano” engine family. if an intake valve fractures in the subject engines, it may drop into the cylinder and contact the piston, often resulting in catastrophic engine damage. on september 29, 2023, pe22007 was upgraded to an engineering analysis (ea23002) to further investigate the subject defect across the full scope of affected vehicles. during ea23002, odi visited ford facilities to review technical information related to intake valve fracture in “nano” engines, coordinated with nhtsa’s vehicle research and testing center (vrtc), and analyzed updated field data relating the subject defect. forensic analysis of fractured intake valves demonstrated that the defective components exhibited “grinding burn” or out of specification hardness in the area of the keeper grooves. the presence of grinding burn is evidence that during the groove grinding phase of production, the temperature of the valve became sufficiently high to alter the microstructure of the material and is indicative that the valve supplier’s manufacturing processes were not within control specifications. grinding burn results in a hard, brittle microstructure and high residual stresses toward the surface of the valve. through normal engine loading, a valve with grinding burn will likely fracture at the area of highest vulnerability, which is the third keeper groove. in its response to the ea23002 information request (ir) letter, ford provided evidence of 396 customer complaints (including field reports), 825 warranty claims, and 936 engine exchanges. when considering both odi and manufacturer failure report data, there have been reports representing 1066 unique vehicles within the subject vehicle population. analysis of the failure report data demonstrates that vehicles equipped with potentially defective intake valves were built within a production “spike period” of may 2021 – october 2021. the beginning of the spike period corresponds to a ramp up in production at the valve supplier manufacturing facility, and the end of the spike period aligns with the implementation of several mid-production process improvements and the decision to change the metal alloy used to produce intake valves from “silchrome lite” to “silchrome 1”. ford began investigating the subject defect in july 2021, determined the root cause, and took corrective measures for the new production vehicles. analysis of the failure report data demonstrates that these corrective actions were successful in eliminating the risk of intake valve fracture for subject vehicles produced after october 2021. however, ford did not take any field action to address vehicles produced during the spike period, and in the several months following the implementation of the production changes, a significant number of field failures continued to occur. it is ford’s assessment that not all valves produced during the spike period are defective, and that failures associated with the subject defect occur at low time in service. analysis of the failure report data demonstrates that the vast majority of failures have occurred before 20,000 miles with over half of all reported failures occurring before 5,000 miles. the rate of reported failures related to the subject defect has steadily decreas
