23,000 miles later and my wifes 2018 Navigator is getting its 6th set of cam phasers. Dealer suggested to Ford to replace the engine the last 2 times, and Ford has continued to decide to throw more cam phasers in it. This should be fun. In about 300 miles it will probably throw the check engine light again and puke these cam phasers. Now the head mechanic is out all week on Jury Duty, so they won't touch it for another week. Life is great.

Get some oil from it and send it off to Blackstone Labs pronto. There could be metal circulating around.

Wow.

So much for the perceived “better service” from Lincoln?

Are you being provided with a comparable loaner vehicle?

Wow. Had mine replaced at ~38k miles and haven’t had an issue since. We’re now at ~57k miles. 2018 expedition

Attached is a list of parts they used. Wonder if they differ from what they’re putting in yours.

Wow! This is especially disconcerting since I just called my dealer about the cold start rattle that began a week ago. The service advisor mentioned cam phasers and that it was a 3-4 day job, so the earliest they can start this job is June 1st.

You are the first person on this forum that has a manufacture date after April 2019 who has had the cam phaser issue. Are you sure it is the cam phaser and not the turbo waste gate.

Mine was manufactured 06/19 and got them done. I still don't think they needed to be done, but Ford wouldn't even consider replacing the turbo's till the phasers were done (as if the sounds were even remotely the same). They literally told the dealership they had to tear apart the engine before they would even consider the turbo's as the source of noise.
