is there a Service Bulleting for faulty Cam Phasers yet?

Is it still an issue with new trucks or has it been addressed?

was addressed in the summer of 2019. If you have the issue with some 2018, 2019 or 2020. it's just a rando bad part.

Correct, new service parts were released late summer/early fall of 2019. Updated parts were in production 07/18.

Apparently there is updated phasers,but our 'Parts professionals' tell us techs there is no difference other than part numbers. They were told to use all old part number until all are out of stock before using new number.Just started using new number last week. My job is to install the parts they give me,not check part numbers, hopefully there is a difference in part.Im a 36 year Ford Senior Master Tec that mainly does engine work and hope that my parts people give me the right part because that is there job!!!! Sorry if I misinformed someone because I was..Today 2 more came in today for phasers ,ill see if they get new part numbers......

I use the term "parts professionals" loosely. Ryan at RMB Performance disassembled the original and revised (CD) phasers to show the internal revisions. Per the TSB released June 5th, only the CD level parts should be used. If parts is billing out the old parts, the claim should get kicked by warranty.

I think i might have caught our parts charging out old part number as new number to deplete old stock. Asked them to show me part return boxes to compare numbers but was told they were all scrapped. Wouldn't put it past them because it's all about money! I guess ill have to pay more attention to part numbers for now on, I know I would be pissed If I found out I had old phasers installed! I have to get out of this business, doing it to long..

Does anyone know how much it would cost to replace all 4 phasers? I’m looking at a 2017 that is out of warranty and wondering what this would cost if the issue were to arise.

If it’s from a Ford dealer, you can ask them to run the vin and see if it was done already in the service history and see if the cam part that ends in CD were installed.

I’ll give that a shot. It’s at a dealer now getting serviced. I’ll also ask for a quote and report back.

Good lord. I wonder if any indie shops have performed this work. I just finished bulletproofing the variable cam timing on my e46 M3. Surely this can’t be that difficult.
