Well, just when I was happy with getting a Bronco off the lot, this gets announced:

https://www.autoevolution.com/news/...n-bronco-ranger-explorer-vehicles-211393.html

Anyone had this issue or been contacted yet? Mine was built in Dec 22, so I need to narrow down the build date.

looks like another thread started on this.
Customer satisfaction program 23B08 will be in effect until March 31st, 2024, with no mileage limit for affected vehicles.
Dealers have been instructed to repair any affected vehicle arriving at the dealership, whether or not the owner has received a Ford-branded letter. A damaged tool used during engine block machining may have allowed the main oil galley of the four-cylinder turbocharged engine to exceed expectations. In other words, an insufficient seal at the main oil galley plug results in an oil leak from the engine block, which increases the risk of engine failure and vehicle fire.

Replacing the 2.3L EcoBoost is the only remedy available, with Ford highlighting that engine replacements must be performed on all of the affected vehicles at no charge to the owners. Although a customer satisfaction program is better than sweeping this problem under the rub, a recall would have been more like it.
