Does this sound like the cam-phaser issue??

[SublimeHiPpOs]

I recently purchased this 2018 Expedition and am curious if this sound that lasts for a second or two when starting is normal or potentially the cam-phaser issue I've heard so much about?

100%

We’ve got the exact thing going on now, and it’s at the shop. Of course, the sound has yet to make an appearance for the techs.

It probably needs to sit a day or two before it'll do it again.

Absolutely! Good old 10speed cam phasers failing. Will probably be in shop 2 weeks if it’s anything like my dealership.

I was just told by my dealer the kits to repair this are backordered nationwide. Couldn't even get an appointment for mine to be checked until the 8th, so maybe they'll be in stock by then, but didn't sound good.

It’ll only keep getting worse sounding so just take her easy

So ours finally made the noise for the dealer today, so they got the confirmation they needed. However as 5280 said above, the parts are on BO. They’ll call us when they get them in.

99.9% sure that is cam phaser/VCT related. Just had my 2018 in for repair for the same thing. Both timing chains, both cam phasers, and VCT's were replaced. Check out my "RU Kidding Me" thread if you want to see the related TSB my work was performed too.
