SSM 51754 2023 Bronco/Ranger/Explorer - 2.3L Engine - Loss Of Coolant With Coolant In Oil - Built On 27-Mar-2023 And Through 18-May-2023

Some 2023 Bronco/Ranger/Explorer vehicles equipped with a 2.3L EcoBoost engine and built on 27-Mar-2023 and through 18-May-2023 may experience a loss of coolant with coolant in the oil. This may be caused by a cracked engine block. If this condition is present, replace the engine long block assembly. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-01. For claiming use causal part number 6010 and applicable labor operations in Section 06 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.

Time to sniff the exhaust...nothing smells so sweet as a noseful of propylene glycol burning off... And also the answer to what is causing that big puffy cloud as I start up the car

Wow, Fords QC is abysmal now. Brand new engines with cracked blocks should not be happening in this day and age.

mines too old for the notice but id guess if it was problem they caught and put out notice on it may have taken place on more than just that date range

so ive never built a new engine or worked on a line making engines but i have worked on several engines. busted knuckles every weekend as kid to keep my junker first truck running etc. but i gotta throw this out to yall for info... is it not fairly essay to spot a cracked block or catch early like after the first start up ??? in my mind it would be fairly easy to notice a cracked block during the assembly and at least during an inspection or in delivery process. i mean they do have to start them and drive the cars and trucks to get them to a truck train or dealer. id hope they check the oil and other fluids at some point... so should things like this not be caught before customers get the truck or is a cracked block a hard to notice or find thing ???

Is this the same group or a different group of 2023 2.3 engines that had the oil passage that wasn't machined correctly?

Holy crap, sounds bad but ....

This may not be widespread, I don't think everyone in that build range needs to get all excited.
