U.S. auto safety investigators have expanded a probe into Ford Motor Co. engine failures to include nearly 709,000 vehicles.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also said in documents posted Monday on its website that it upgraded the investigation to an engineering analysis, a step closer to a recall.

The investigation now covers Ford’s F-150 pickup truck, as well as Explorer, Bronco and Edge SUVs and Lincoln Nautilus and Aviator SUVs. All are from the 2021 and 2022 model years and are equipped with 2.7-liter or 3.0-liter V6 turbocharged engines.

    I’m in my 50s and the Engine vs Motor debate has been raging for longer than I’ve been around.

    Now if you’ll excuse me I need to put some motor oil in my motorcycle so I can ride it over to the Department of Motor Vehicles and get it registered. I’m taking it to compete in some motorsports this weekend and it needs to be street legal.
