TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN
2.7L EcoBoost - Cold Start Ticking/Tapping Or Rattle Type Noise
23-2049
28 March 2023
 
 

This bulletin supersedes 22-2376.

Model:

Ford
2019-2023 Edge
Engine: 2.7L EcoBoost
Lincoln
2019-2023 Nautilus
Engine: 2.7L EcoBoost
 

Summary

 

This TSB supersedes TSB 22-2376 to update the model years affected.

 

Issue: Some 2019-2023 Edge/Nautilus vehicles equipped with a 2.7L EcoBoost engine may exhibit a ticking/tapping or rattle type noise from the top front cover area of the engine on initial start-up after a cold soak of 6 hours or more that may last for 2-5 seconds. This may be due to stuck internal components of the variable cam timing (VCT) unit. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to replace the VCT units.

 

Action: Follow the Service Procedure to correct the condition on vehicles that meet all of the following criteria:

 

• 2019-2023 Edge/Nautilus

• 2.7L EcoBoost engine

• Customer symptom of ticking/tapping or rattle noise from the front cover area after a cold start

NOTE: Dealers should only order parts for customer vehicles that require repairs. Because of part constraints, dealers may experience situational short-term backorders on some parts. Customers should continue to drive vehicles while parts are on order.

Thanks Haz.  I have a 22ST with the 2.7 and posted this question below when this was initially published by you in December.  I still hear a fast clicking/tapping noise from my engine, but it isn't limited to when it first starts as it always does it......here is what I wrote below.....

 

I have a 22 ST with the 2.7.  I don't necessarily hear this tapping or rattle noise on start up, but I do think that the engine is a bit noisy when you are outside the vehicle with it running and standing in front of it.  It does seem to make a constant fast clicking noise all the time on mine.  I attributed this to fuel injection or something else "normal" as it runs smoothly to me.  It doesn't make any different noise the first 5 seconds than it does all the time.  I also wonder what the problem is if it only does it, as reported, for 2 to 5 seconds after it starts, is there really a problem?  Is it harming the engine?

If anyone has the misfortune of having to deal with the Cold Start Ticking/Tapping Or Rattle Type Noise associated with the issue documented in this TSB, please post an audio file so that we all know what we should be listening for. Thank you.

Could this be the problem?  I realize this is a 2.0L Ecoboost in the video, but like he says, this rattle he refers to is not an engine problem it a turbo problem and could easily happen to a 2.7L Ecoboost.  Not sure if this is your problem but at least you can compare the sound.  HTH

The noise described as "not detrimental to engine function, [having] no effect on engine durability, [and] aoperating characteristic of these engines" in SSM 51465 - 2019-2023 Various Vehicles - 2.0L/2.3L EcoBoost - Light To Moderate Ticking Type Noise At Idle (600-700 RPM) is attributed to those EcoBoost engines' High Pressure Fuel Pump.

 

Perhaps it's that same component you're hearing on your 2.7L EcoBoost, as shown in the 2019 Edge Workshop Manual...

I have a 2020 Edge ST with just over 76,000 miles on it and I've noticed a rattling sound coming from the top of the engine after a cold start and any time the RPMs drop. After doing a bit of research, I found a TSB (23-2049) which basically says the VCT units may be stuck. I've been googling for days and found nobody with an Edge having this issue. There's plenty of F-150s with the issue though. Has anyone ever experienced this on their Edge? If so, how much did it cost to fix it? Do I have to pull the motor in order to do it? Should I do the timing chains as well? Thanks.

Welcome to the Forum @Snub_Nose_Edge!

 

To provide you a glimpse of the scope of work involved in TSB 23-2346/TSB 23-2049, attached below as PDF documents are some -- but not all -- of 2020 Edge Workshop Manual sections involved in performing the repair...

 

Please note that some of the numbered action-step descriptions which precede their associated illustrations may appear on the page before their rightfully associated illustrations.

 

I invite other Forum members to respond to your additional questions.

Thank you for those portions of the service manual @Haz. Unfortunately, I don't have the tools needed to complete this, so I have to send it out to get done ☹️. I got quoted about $3,300 to have it repaired by my local Ford dealer, that was the best price I could get. I spoke with a mechanic and he did say the VCT units have an updated design that should prevent this issue in the future, I'm hopeful that is the case.
