Description of the problem	These trucks have now had 3 different tsb's on them for cam phasers and the timing chain stretching. When is there going to be a recall? Tsb's i am referring to are: tsb 16-0027, tsb 15-0131, and tsb 14-0194. This is completely out of hand. The fix does actually fix the problem with the improved parts, but these vehicles have failed and ford is either replacing the engine or actually doing the work in the tsb. If a customer is out of warranty, they must pay for the work. This is not what ford is suppose to be about and is a disservice to their loyal customer base. I have a 2012 f-150 3. 5l ecoboost and i will never buy a ford again unless they address this issue. It is a similar issue to the 3v 5. 4l with phasers and the timing chain, which killed my 2004 f-150, so i have been effected by these issues twice now, directly.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
