Ecoboost question

Can anyone tell me what years the original ecoboost had the condensation issue? Or in other words, what year did they fix the problem?

The original 2011 Ecoboost and some of the early 2012 models had more of a spark plug issue than a condensation issue. The original plugs were not up to the task, plus were gapped way out of spec. Mine were beyond shot at 40K with center posts gone on two and the others gapped at .040 instead of the later recommendation of .030. With the weak plugs and too much gap, any intake of air that included some condensation blew the spark out causing bad misfiring.
I had the issue twice, and once the plugs were replaced with the new model plug and gapped at .030, I never had the problem again. I traded in at 68K. But even the newer plugs need to be changed at 30K instead of the Ford service at 100K. I developed a misfire in one of the second set at 20K as I did a lot of heavy towing.
