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?

- :) Hi, my 2014 F-150 Ecoboost has about 25,000 miles on it and hasn't had any of those concerns. Last year, we took a cross country trip pulling our trailer for over 13,000 miles.
- I bought a 2013 and have over 60000 miles on it and have yet to have an issue and about 7500 miles of it have been towing. WE really like our F150 it does everything we expect of it.
- By the late spring of 2012 they had added a shield to the intercooler to reduce the condensation issue. In 2013 I believe they had modified the intercooler however I see in the article from the NHTSA apparently it was not 'fixed fixed' until 2014. I ordered a very late build (July) of the 2012 and have not had any issues. I drive in Oregon and it gets damp on occasion, but not like the high humidity of the gulf coast.
Of those who own / operate the 3.5 on this forum some folks had the problem earlier on and I believe all of them reported they were fixed by the dealer.
Good luck,
Stu - No issues with our 2012 !
- I think it was '11-13. However, everything I have read indicates it wasn't a widespread issue, ie, it didn't affect a large percentage of trucks in those years.
I never had a problem with my '11.
