2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R Owners Are Reporting Big Oil Leaks Already: At least nine owners have come forward this year claiming their brand-new, 700-horsepower trucks are leaking lots of oil. — The Drive
A spokesperson from Ford said they were “aware of a limited number of F-150 Raptor Rs—nine customers—with the potential to leak oil at the front crankshaft seal caused by a supplier manufacturing defect. We are contacting affected customers to offer assistance.”
That statement confirms the issue, and also confirms Ford is actively working on a solution for affected customers. “The spokesperson informed me that new 5.2-liter Predator engines are now rolling off the assembly line with a properly working front crank seal.”
At present, it looks like Ford has found a fix & is working to deploy it so owners can get their trucks back. It has to be frustrating, but this isn't the first time a new performance model has ever had problems, especially in its 1st year of production. thedrive.com
