I'm talking about the "new" 2020 Powerstroke. Ford has a history of having a few "glitches" with new diesel releases..... ;)
I lived it first hand with my 2003.
To be fair, I think this applies to all of them not just Fords. The Cummins 6.7L had turbo, head gasket, and EGR issues when it first came out. The LB7 Duramax had injector failures due to bad design. GM had to issue a recall and extend the warranty of the new units. The LB7 Duramax had head gasket issues and overheating issues due to the small intake manifold. The LBZ had sticking turbos, but was pretty reliable other than that. The LMM had piston issues if you turned up the power in them. The LML is awesome other than its fuel system.
All three had issues with new engines or new iterations of engines so I don't think it is fair to singe out Ford.
Well Cummins/RAM didn’t have billion dollars issues that caused a falling out of the partnership.
And I’ve never read about billions of dollars of warranty issues with the Duramax.
Issues, certainly. But there is a matter of degrees.....
