I don-??t have the eco boost engine so they told me my car is NOT in the TSB even though I was just told that I need a new engine due to coolant intrusion. I have a ford engine with a defect that caused the problem!! Only MKC-??s with eco boost are included. How many people with these ford engines are affected but not included??

Recently, my 2017 Lincoln MKC has exhibited concerning symptoms that warrant further investigation. Upon starting the engine, I have noticed a slight but noticeable tremor. Though this subsides once the vehicle is in motion, a persistent roughness persists during gear changes, accompanied by the emission of white exhaust from the tailpipe. The situation escalated further with the illumination of the "Check Engine" light. Consequently, I sought professional diagnosis from a certified mechanic. Unfortunately, the diagnosis revealed a significant issue: a broken head gasket leaking into the engine. Remedying this requires a complete engine rebuild. Disturbingly, the mechanic indicated that this problem is not entirely uncommon in Lincolns, and even a full rebuild may not guarantee a permanent solution. I have come across information regarding a class action lawsuit entitled "Reed et al v. Ford Motor Company 2:2021cv00417, " which I intend to contact to report my experience and contribute to their investigation. Additionally, I have contacted the original dealership where I purchased the vehicle and am actively exploring all available options to address this concern.
