Ford have a recalled every example - at least in the scope range - someone thinks they are flawed enough to recall them, do you not think there is an issue there, they don't recall for no reason. Are they recalling to inspect and perhaps do nothing (I doubt it), are they recalling to replace the heads or modify in some way. I know there is recall, I don't know exactly what their corrective action will be. My main point was with Powershift transmissions and then Ecoboost cracked head issues, personally I'm losing confidence to buy an Ecoboost engined car, and definitely won't buy a Power shift transmission Ford. My Fiesta has so far been fine, but it's not Ecoboost and it's not Power shift.
