NHTSA Complaint #11553680 — 2017 FORD F-150

I had a complete engine failure in my 2017 Ford F-150 2.7-liter V6 turbocharged (twin turbo) truck. The safety of myself and four family members were put at risk when this engine failure occurred, as we were driving at approximately 55 mph. My truck was taken to a Ford dealership were they confirmed the engine failure. I am currently awaiting new engine from Ford (a remanufactured engine), but they are currently on back order with no estimated time of arrival provided. I will happily make the vehicle available for inspection (via the Ford dealership). The vehicle has not been inspected by another party (outside the Ford dealership). There were no warning lamps or messages that appeared before the failure. One symptom, a strange "muffler sounding" noise, did start about 5-10 minutes before the failure. This failure seems like it could be related to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration current investigation into this particular motor.
