So it happened😢…..

[Badtothebone2]

So it happened, I started smelling gasoline in the car over the weekend. Dropped Norma(2022 big bend) off at the dealer yesterday. Got the phone call today…..cracked fuel injectors. Dealership is keeping my until the parts are in. Plus side they gave me a loaner until the car is fixed. The staff at Century Ford in Mt. Airy, MD is awesome.
This is the first problem I’ve had with her.

Mileage? Just curious.

Glad your dealer is awesome, that makes all the difference!

Yeah I’d like to know the mileage too. Also did you have the recall done before it happened? I thought there was a program installed that was supposed to warn you if your car started leaking fuel.

Did you notice any slight loss of power at all at any moment?

Mileage? Just curious.

About 33,500 miles. Mostly highway miles

She has about 33,500 miles. Yes I did have the train tube put in. If they installed a program it did not give any alerts. The smell of gasoline and drop of mpg were my tip-off.

No loss of power but a decrease in mpg. I went from 32-33mpg to 29

Thanks for the info, my wife's 2021 B/S BB has about 30K.

It sounds like the drain system worked as planned. You smelled the fuel ported overboard, but you got no fire. I'd say your case is a good testimonial for anyone wondering if the recall is worth the hassle to get it done.

I'm curious... does Ford/the dealership prioritize vehicles that actually have a cracked injector over those that do not but are just needing to get the recall done?

One recall is the drain tube and PCM software

the fix for the case of a known cracked injector is to replace the injector with a different model of that injector. That would be higher priority.

Was that done on the '23s?

Do we know that Ford is using a different model for replacement injectors? I've not read that anywhere.
