F-150 Sales Halt

I want more context on this 'turbo-charger related concern'.

What exactly is the problem and why is it only on the conversion vehicles? I'd assume they wouldn't even touch the turbo/engine, unless maybe they're re-routed oil and coolant lines to it.

That was my thinking as well. Even if they did remove the engine from the rolling chassis, there would be no reason to remove the turbochargers from the engine. I would think this issue is with a component in support of the turbochargers, as in hoses/fluid lines/actuators.

I’d not be surprised if the (presumed) reflashing gave it more of a nudge than the local development team initially let on, and now Ford are worried about liability. Before and after recall on a dyno could be interesting.
