Ford contended that not all valves produced during this period were faulty and that a vast majority of the failures happened before the vehicles were driven 20,000 miles.<\/p>\n<div data-module=\"\"

mileage, and the majority of vehicles with the faulty valves \u201chave already experienced a failure,\u201d the agency said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year Ford recalled about 91,000 vehicles with valves made during the suspect period. They\u2019ll be tested and get a new engine if necessary. The company also extended the warranty on vehicles with valves made during the period to 10 years or 150,000 miles, the documents said.<\/p>\n<p>During the investigation, the agency said it found 396 customer complaints, 825 warranty claims and 936 engine replacements.
