I was doing a pre-buy inspection on a 2021 Fleetwood Fortis with approx. 1300 miles on it. As I walked up to the vehicle after it was brought up to front of dealership I could hear what sounded like noisy lifters. I looked at engine from over front passenger side front wheel and could see arching across a separated ignition wire. I know Ford has had an issue with ignition wires on their new 7.3 Triton engine. But why hasn't a recall been issued? I would think that this is a serious safety issue. The other question I have is - Did Ford authorize the faulty wires because the right wires were not available?
