Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Do you smell something? New recall.

Typical Ford response, drain fuel and fix software as opposed to buying a robust injector. Hey, we save $0.05 each on the current injector.

Ford (F.N), opens new tab will recall 42,652 Bronco Sport and Escape vehicles in the United States due to cracked fuel injectors that may leak and cause a fire, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Wednesday.

Ford will update the engine control software to include fuel injector leak detection and install a drain tube, NHTSA added.

Does the injector leak or the injector port leak? I think this is an integrated upper intake.

Drain tube so that gas falls to your garage floor. Nice!

I wonder if the EPA or the California Air Resources Board could be persuaded to weigh in on this recall? The vapors from the leaked fuel are unburned hydrocarbons that could cause a defective vehicle to exceed its legal emission limits.

Ford's focus on useless "bean counting" business degrees has destroyed quality control within the company. You reap what you sow.

Sad the bracket team is no longer around. How will the tube be attached? Flame re--rdant epoxy?

@rqs+1rYzugnW What happened to QC? They got laid off or reassigned to other tasks.

April 10, 2024, at 5:38 a.m. (Reuters) - Ford will recall 42,652 Bronco Sport and Escape vehicles in the United States due to cracked fuel injectors that may leak and cause a fire, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Wednesday.

Old since 5:38 am. Maybe you are one of our team members who looks the other way when issues are discovered internally or you work in purchasing and just concerned about cost vs reliability for the customer.

This is old news. That recall has been out there for over a year. They should replace the fuel injectors rather than do this lame recall “repair”
