Re: Is your Bronco on fire? Ford has the fix...
.
Throwing software at a hardware problem. Yes...it's been done before.
In 2009 or so, bmw knew they had a hardware issue with their turbos on the new twin turbo 3 series (335). Indeed the fix was a software fix that reduced the engine output in an attempt to mask, delay, prevent turbo waste gate failure. This was met with a very huge outcry from consumers of these vehicles. Eventually they ponied up and fixed the engines with actual hardware but it took some pushing to make them do it right.
Ferd is admitting there will be a fuel leak and they simply want software detection of leak to maybe shut off or put the engine in limp mode to provide safety...oh and a DRAIN PIPE? Jesus.
