Got hit with a new ford campaign for the 1.5L engine, FordPass gave me no real info. I already did the pcm reflash earlier, but this one looks tied to mileage (84k/7yrs). I'm at 88k, but if the issue started before Nov 2022, it might still be covered, it feels like the old short block fix. Gonna check my extended warranty to be sure, I really don't know how ford handles it?
 
Since your vehicle is at 88k and the issue began before the expiration date, its worth checking your extended warranty for potential coverage. Ford's handling of these cases has already varied, so contacting your dealer with your VIN for specific information is advisable..

If you have extended warranty, I'm pretty sure it's still covered. But the issue started then and you're just bringing it now? Why not then?
 
Ford's engine campaign covers 1.5L EcoBoost issues up to 84,000 miles or about 7 years, whichever comes first. Since you're at 88k, youre technically past that window, but if the problem started before Nov 2022, it might still be covered. Definitely check your extended warranty and talk to your dealer with your VIN to see what options you have

bro, you need to gather any records you have of symptoms or previous issues that predate November 2022. If you can show a history of the problem (even if undiagnosed), it significantly strengthens your case for retroactive coverage under the campaign or extended warranty
