Scotty,

 

My wife ran across a posting from a Ford mechanic in which he stated that there have been numerous Ford Pickups coming in for repairs due to defective camshafts. Have you seen or heard anything about such failures?

Nothing on the 7.3 Liters I have heard. There is a cam phaser issue on the smaller V8’s. Rattle in the Valvetrain variable timing as I understand it. 

 

Not a recall; it's a limited warranty extension under a Customer Satisfaction Program from 60,000mi to 69,999mi and Sept 1, 2022, but only if you get 21B01 completed (PCM reflash) and a rattle still develops. 21B01 must be completed prior to August 31, 2021 in order for you to be eligible for the 21N03 CSP.
If a rattle develops before 110,000km *and* before September 1, 2022, you're covered 100%
