- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it
opened a preliminary evaluation to assess whether the large
pickup trucks have a safety related defect after receiving 95
reports alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard
accelerations at highway speeds, such as merging or passing
maneuvers, in trucks with 3.5-liter gas turbocharged direct
injection engines.
There are actually more 1/2 ton owner's than heavy Duty owner's. After all they tow great.
As to the article. It appears to reference Eco Boost engines, and other turbo boost engines. Doesn't really say anything about normally aspirated engines. I was surprised to learn there are 400,000 V6 turbo booost F150s. Not sure they got that right.
