U.S. auto safety investigators have expanded a probe into Ford Motor Co. engine failures to include nearly 709,000 vehicles.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also said in documents posted Monday on its website that it upgraded the investigation to an engineering analysis, a step closer to a recall.

The investigation now covers Ford’s F-150 pickup truck, as well as Explorer, Bronco and Edge SUVs and Lincoln Nautilus and Aviator SUVs. All are from the 2021 and 2022 model years and are equipped with 2.7-liter or 3.0-liter V6 turbocharged engines.

    Okay start calling gas engines “Internal Combustion Motors” around some car types. See how long until someone calls you out as an idiot and you can bring up your dictionary and show them how you’re right and they’re wrong.

      Or, I’ll just keep calling them engines/motors like everyone else does. Also, I am a car type.
