100.6.143.244
2.7 and 3.0 V6 twin turbo. Bad intake valves. Catastrophic failure.

Follow Ups:
Somewhere in that official recall document there will be an estimated amount of vehicles that will require parts replacement. The normal for an "inspection" recall is well under 10 percent of the vehicles.

...look up the complaints about the 10-spd automatic trannys backing them.
My plumber just sold and replaced all 6 of his F-150 Eco-Boost trucks with Toyota Tundra pick-ups. No catastrophic engine failures (in his case), but continuous problems with the 10-spd automatic trannys. Ford would have replaced/repaired them (under a class-action law suit), but the dealers can't even get the replacements/parts for 2-3 months--so he just ditched them and replaced them with the Toyotas--he needs his trucks working to keep working.

Complaints do not mean there is a problem. The perceived problem is the trans is shifting too much. Well it is a 10 speed! If the check engine light is not on then there is normally no problem with the transmissions themselves. The problem usually with customers who don't understand the aspects of an adaptive 10 speed automatic or customers who think they know more than the entire engineering team.
Damn shame that in this day and age of computer design assistance
that this stuff still happens.
From all manufactures.
...if the transmission doesn't work like the Torqueflite in Uncle Joe's old '73 Dodge, the customer complains.
That's why CVTs fake shift.

Why the pioneer of a modern manufacturing and the most experienced car company in the world can't match the quality of Japanese and German automakers? Why? Do you know the answer?
Basically it's called "outsourcing". The same company makes transmissions for Ford, GM, Toyota. The days of automakers manufacuring their own components are long gone. When I go to the parts counter to get say a fuel injector for a GM it reads "Made In Germany" on the box. So maybe the domestic cars reliability is because of using those 'fine' German parts???
My 1983 and 2003 VW GTi's were a blast to drive but both developed annoying rattles and squeaks early on. My BMW's were fun too but so many recalls for stupid things like water getting into the tail lights, high pressure fuel pump failures, and guaranteed plastic water pump failure around 50K miles. Same for the Oil Filter housing that leaks oil around 50K miles. The key with these German cars (IMHO) is to sell them before the Warranty or Certified Pre-Owned Warranty expires. Our Toyotas and Hondas have been much more reliable over the years but I have to admit they're pretty boring to drive. I bought a 2024 Subaru with that boxer engine and CVT. It's my first ever Subaru. Fingers crossed.
Nope. We certainly don't at any dealer I have worked for.
Have you seen where Mercedes and VW rank in the latest Consumer Reports indexing? Both below domestics...
What car to buy once I save up the pennies. My friend bought VW Jetta sport and the car spent most of its time in dealership service. They traded it for VW van and it wasn't much better so they ended up with Buick SUV. A really nice car actually but they make it sound like they are driving a grandma's vehicle. What a loss of prestige..

In this case, catastrophic engine failure. Could leave you stranded on, say, an interstate highway in the path of an onrushing 18-wheeler.
There's a lot of wiggle room in the term "safety issue" also, as far as NHTSA is concerned. GM cars from the Aughts and Teens are notorious for rusting rear brake lines and rusted fuel lines. No recall.
And, NHTSA doesn't have the authority to order a recall. It can tell the car maker to recall the vehicles but the car maker can refuse, drag everything out in court. Jeep did this about 10 years ago involving an issue with trailer hitches.

There are actually many types of recalls. Safety, Emissions, Customer Satisfaction, Updates, Extended Warranties...
