Huge Recall But the Parts Won’t Be In Until Next Year (Ford)

If you needed another reason to steer clear of Ford, here it is. Interestingly, if they have engines they have the parts where ever the engines are being assembled which points to an unwillingness to stop production and redirect the parts. But there is a deeper problem as I had a post with the tear down of a failed 1 liter 3 cylinder engine, and the submerged oil pump belt teeth were breaking off and clogging the oil pump pickup causing the failure indicating a severe design flaw. The mentioning of the belt tensioner would indicate possibly another design flaw.
