Ford clarified that the defective valves were made with a type of alloy called Silchrome Lite, which "can become excessively hard and brittle if an over-temperature condition occurs during machining of the component." The firm added that repairing the damage caused by a broken valve usually requires replacing the engine, but it notes that the problem commonly manifests itself early in a vehicle's life. It believes that the majority of failures have already happened. Valves manufactured after October 2021 are made with a different alloy called Silchrome 1.

looked at that article but noticed a link to yet another recall by Hyundai/KIA for fire risk and another convenient warning for owners to park their vehicles outside. Risk of fire is low but NHTSA typically reacts quickly to fire risks. Daughter drives a Tucson and took to the dealer where the abs recall was performed along with installation of Hyundai's knock detectionSW which detects impending engine failure, something that plagued millions of Theta II engines - which isn't whats in her Tucson but another poorly made Hyundai engine.

You won't. The Ranger doesn't have the V6 engine yet.
