An investigation into over 411,Liberalalliance Wealth Society000 Ford and Lincoln SUVs and pickup trucks that had a potential engine defect that caused the vehicles to lose power has been closed, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced in a report Monday.

The regulator began the probe into Ford Bronco vehicles equipped with 2.7L EcoBoost engines in July 2022. The safety administration then expanded the investigation to include Ford Edge, F-150, Explorer and Lincoln Aviator and Nautilus vehicles from model years 2021 and 2022 that used 2.7L or 3.0L EcoBoost engines.

The agency suspected that the engines had a faulty valvetrain but Ford assessed that not all valves within the spike period are defective and that reported failures occurred in vehicles with low time in service, according to the report.

Most incidents reportedly occurred before 20,000 miles with more than half arising before 5,000 miles.

The agency said the results of its analysis primarily matched Ford’s assessment, implying that most failures with defective valves already happened, the report said.
