Getting the recall for the replacement long block on my '25 XLT 2.3 done next Wednesday. Anyone have this done yet? Or am I the first here?
Do what the 150K+ Tundra owners did, ride it till it breaks then get a new engine at the milage.

I just ordered one for a 25 Bronco in the showroom. Only a 2-3 day wait for parts.

I had to have this done on my 2017 Ford Edge. The dealership had to replace the long block.
However, it was not done as a recall. At 52K mile the Check engine light came on.
I took it to the dealership I purchased the Edge from and the code indicated a internal coolant leak.
They replaced the long block under warranty.
It seems there was a number of people that had the same problem. Internal coolant leak between cylinders.

It took 3 day to do the work..

Said they would have the long block there by Wednesday. Did say it might take a while if they have to order any odds and ends such as bolts and what not. 🤷🏼‍♂️it is what it is. As long as ids done correctly. When I took it in for the A pillar wiring recall they gave me an Explorer ST as a loaner. Think they want me to buy another vehicle… 😂

Hello, I just received a letter in the mail today saying they want to replace the long block in my 2025 Ranger XLT. Any tips to find the best local Ford dealership service department?
