timing phaser TSB coming

[allinon72]

This is amazing, Ford has been using cam phasers since at least 04 model year and still hasn't figured it out.

About to pull the trigger on a 17 with 55k, these darn phaser issues have me worried though. My gen1 went 155k before I sold it and I’d love the same reliability out of this next one. I read through a bunch of threads, I hope ford tech is tight and there will be a fix once and for all on this.

When you buy the vehicle, get a warranty before you Walk out the door.

Roll that warranty right into the payment Especially since you've passed the sweet spot of 50k.

I plan on it. I’m going to try and get them to certify it at least....if it falls within the mileage parameters.

Boom.

It's not a a matter of "figuring it out". Every engine has unique specifications for oil pressure, oil volume (flow), cylinder head design, cam drive (chain/sprocket) design, and phaser operating angles. Ford provided the supplier with the specifications, and they manufactured them incorrectly. It sucks, but it's not as obvious as you made it sound.

I appreciate your input/shedding light on this.

Have they changed the design at all for 2020 to correct the issue?

Somewhere on one of these threads, there was information saying that there was a change made in mid-April of 2019. I would presume that carries through to 2020 models as well.
