for what its worth - I do NOT have a recalled motor but did have a burned/broken valve. Ford repaired my engine ( new head assy. on the effected side). It was a 4 week process and relatively painless all things considered.

Agreed - Ford comped me 36k miles of their premium warranty so i have that through 88k miles. I'll be making a decision over the next year as to my future with the Bronco (and ford maybe). Time will tell.
Thank you for that. The only thing I can think of is the shop that initially did the diag might have? But I'm not aware of any updates or reprogramming. The tech did not have a good answer for the engine not logging or alerting to lean fuel, maybe there is an electrical gremlin not logging or...

Got an update from the dealer - burned valve from running lean. no piston or cylinder damage, calling for a head replacement. All covered under warranty, looking into parts availability now. I'm supposed to talk to the actual tech at some point today. Anything specific I should ask? I'm mostly...
