From mechanics I’ve talked to and trust, they say it’s a non issue as long as you change your oil every 5K. I’m also adding a treatment of Techron every 10k. Also, it’s a good practice to run in sport mode every so often to burn off the carbon.
Not in my experience. It appears after several years- 50k or more. So if this engine has only been out for that amount of time it's a wait and see.
quick search shows: The 2.3L EcoBoost engine in the 2024 Ford Mustang can experience cam phaser issues, though it's not as widely reported as with some other EcoBoost engines. The primary symptom is a rattling noise, particularly noticeable during cold starts, caused by a worn locking pin in the cam phaser. While this rattle may not always indicate immediate failure, it can lead to timing chain damage if ignored.
All vehicle brands will have issues at some point, specially new ones, the key is not waiting so long as they recommend for services, use quality products, preventive maintenance checks and services, another key factor.

Thats an AI answer that is not correct. Lots of the 23 and 24 Broncos had failures in the 2.7's with under 10000 miles. The engines have to come out and a new faulty part is put back in. Some unlucky individuals have and a second failure resulting in a buy back from Ford. Check that forum. I have been on it for years. Check the Mustang forum on the new 2.3. No issues.
If it IS an "all new engine" I'm glad I'm not the first in line! Ford has had 90 recalls this year and doesn't have a great track record. I'm glad I have the 2024 2.3..
