Safety issues
Ford has had to refund hundreds of customers worldwide because Ford EcoBoost engines in their vehicles have overheated and, in some cases, caused engine fires. In 2015, a South African man died after becoming trapped in his
Ford Kuga after its 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine burst into flames. In 2017, Ford South Africa recalled all Kugas in the country for engine checks.
Engine family list
Inline three-cylinder
1.0 L Fox
Ford produces a 1.0 L turbocharged
in-line three-cylinder engine for the EcoBoost family developed at Ford's
Dunton Technical Centre in the UK. Production started in April 2012. The 1.0 was built initially in two versions: and .
Both versions deliver a maximum of from 1,400 to 4,500 rpm, whereas higher performing versions can provide up to on overboost for 30 seconds, which makes for a broad torque curve when compared to a naturally aspirated gasoline engine. A version has also been released in the Fiesta Red Edition and Black Edition (some markets), as well as the Focus ST-Line, with of torque. The engine block is cast iron, which offers, in addition to the required strength, up to 50% faster warm-up than aluminum, at the expense of additional weight.
To quell the natural vibrations of a three-cylinder design, unspecified efforts have been made in the flywheel design to ensure satisfactorily smooth running without the use of energy sapping balance shafts. The 1.0L EcoBoost GTDI engine uses an oil-bathed timing belt, commonly known as a "wet belt".
The engine is packaged in an engine block with a footprint the size of an
A4 sheet of paper.
With the introduction of the face-lifted 2013 Ford Fiesta, Ford introduced a naturally aspirated version of 1.0 Fox engine. The two versions produce and , and both engines use direct injection and Ti-VCT like the turbocharged versions. Start-stop technology is also available.

sales in the U.S., according to a 2017 report. The 1.0 L engine was awarded the International Engine of Year Award 2016, making it the Best Engine Under 1.0 L for the fifth time in a row. After the discontinuation of the Focus and Fiesta in North America, the 1.0 L is only available there in the EcoSport.
In 2017 Ford was again awarded International Engine of Year (for Engines Under 1.0 L) with a largely reconfigured version of the Ecoboost 1.0. Although thermodynamically similar to the old Ecoboost 1.0, the new engine features cylinder deactivation under low-load conditions. A new dual-mass flywheel and a vibration-damping clutch disc (in manual-transmission vehicles) help neutralise engine oscillations when running on two cylinders. Production started in 2018.
In 2019, Ford launched an mHEV version of the 1.0 EcoBoost engine first fitted to the Puma SUV, which uses a belt-driven integrated starter/generator-motor (BiSG); which is in essence a starter motor,

, and propulsion motor in one. Fundamentally, the engine is identical to the 2018–present 1.0 EcoBoost, but features the electric starter/generator and its battery system. The motor itself is not used to propel the vehicle on its own, and is mainly used to increase efficiency by reducing engine load, provide extra power during acceleration, and to reduce the perceived ‘turbo-lag’ at certain engine speeds while accelerating. The starter/generator makes use of a 48-volt battery system in the car, although vehicles fitted with these engines are not

s or full hybrids. Further developments introduced include a more comprehensive ‘start-stop’ functionality, which was previously available but did not cut the engine off until the vehicle was completely stopped. The new engines can turn off while the car decelerates, at a maximum speed of about 15 mph. The new, electrified engines are available in either or outputs.
Engine issues
The 1.0L Fox engines would have problems where its wet timing belt would degrade and fail causing the engine to lose oil pressure causing severe engine damage, or worse, snap altogether. This is seen often in "wetbelt" engines by many brands. These belts need to be replaced strictly according to the manufacturers recommended interval, at a much higher cost due to the extensive labour needed.
In 2024 the US market Fox engines were recalled due to this problem. Prior to this recall 2,099 warranty claims were reportedly filed due to this issue.

1.1 L Duratec Ti-VCT
This is a decontented version of the 1.0L Ecoboost Fox engine intended to provide a more affordable powertrain option. It shares most components with the Fox including the block, oil bathed timing belt, valvetrain, and ECU, but is port injected, lacks cylinder deactivation, and is naturally aspirated; as a result, its compression ratio is raised to 12.0:1. It is built at Ford's Bridgend Engine Plant in the UK.

3.5 L (first generation)
The first Ford vehicle to feature this engine was the 2007
Lincoln MKR concept vehicle under the name TwinForce. The engine was designed to deliver power and torque output equivalent to a typical 6.0 L or larger-displacement V8 while achieving at least 15% better fuel efficiency and reduced greenhouse emissions. In the MKR, the concept TwinForce engine was rated at and of torque, as well as run on
E85 fuel. When the same prototype engine reappeared in the
Lincoln MKT concept in 2008 North American International Auto Show, the name was changed to EcoBoost. Official EcoBoost production began on May 19, 2009 at Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1.
The production engines use the
Duratec 35 V6 engine block. The fuel charging and delivery systems can attain high fuel pressures up to , necessary for efficient operation of the direct fuel injection system. The F-series EcoBoost 3.5L V6 uses two BorgWarner K03 turbochargers which can spin up to 170,000 rpm and provide up to of boost. The transverse EcoBoost 3.5L V6 uses two Garrett GT1549L turbochargers and provides up to of boost. The turbos are set up in a twin-turbo configuration. The engine can consume up to 25% more air over the naturally aspirated counterpart. Through the use of direct injection, the engine needs only regular-grade gasoline to run. The EcoBoost V6 was first available as an engine option for 2010

3.5 L (D35; second generation)
The second generation 3.5L EcoBoost V6 (codename D35) was first introduced for the
2017 Ford GT at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, as well as the 2017 F-150, 2018 Expedition and 2018 Navigator later on.
The most prominent change compared to the first generation is the addition of port fuel injection, while retaining the direct injectors. The port fuel injection was partly added due to the fuel output needs on the 3.5L HO Raptor engine, but also has several other benefits. It will prevent carbon buildup on the intake valves and keep them clean due to fuel passing over the valves. Under certain engine conditions such as low rpm and low loads, the high-pressure fuel pump and direct injection system will deactivate and the engine will only use the port fuel injection, reducing efficiency losses from driving the
high pressure fuel pump. Both systems will operate at cold start, which will reduce the increased emissions that direct injection suffers caused by cold cylinder walls and lower fuel atomization.
Changes to the turbochargers include electronically actuated wastegates, turbine wheels that are now made with lighter Mar-M-247 super-alloy which increases responsiveness, and the same diameter 51 mm turbine wheels that now have sharper vane angles allowing between higher boost. The turbochargers continue to be supplied by Borg Warner.
The cam drive system was changed from a single primary chain to a stronger two primary chain system, with separate chains driving each cylinder bank. In addition to the dual primary chains, the side plates on the chains were also thickened. The cam chain drive sprocket on the crankshaft is now a double gear arrangement to drive the two primary chains. These two changes were done to improve the harmonics, and are also stronger to help minimize the chain stretch that can occur over time on the 1st generation 3.5L EcoBoost.
The camshafts were made hollow for weight savings, along with the addition of a roller-finger follower valvetrain. The compression ratio was increased from 10.0:1 to 10.5:1 on lower output versions; higher output versions such as the 3.5L EcoBoost HO in the F-150 Raptor, have lower compression ratios like 10.0:1 and as low as 9.0:1 in the Ford GT.
The camshaft VCT (phaser) design was changed to improve reliability and reduce the development of an engine start-up tapping/rattling noise over time. Ford uses a single piston cooling jet per cylinder, but the oil volume was increased. The underside of the pistons were also redesigned to better transfer heat into the oil.
The engine features auto start/stop, which decreases emissions during city driving by shutting the engine off in extended idling periods.
The engines are lighter than the previous 3.5L EcoBoost.
Variable camshaft timing phaser issues
VCT units in Ford and Lincoln vehicles with this engine from the 2020 model year and before are found to be failing around 40-80k miles, requiring a replacement to resolve. Ford has issued multiple service bulletins, with the most recent being Customer Satisfaction Program 21N03 – Supplement #4. This program extends warranty coverage under certain conditions for a VCT replacement due to tapping phasers. The latest VCT part number (ML3Z prefix) is a significant redesign and so far has been durable and not shown the rattling/tapping issue develop.
