U.S. auto safety investigators have expanded a probe into Ford Motor Co. engine failures to include nearly 709,000 vehicles.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also said in documents posted Monday on its website that it upgraded the investigation to an engineering analysis, a step closer to a recall.
The investigation now covers Ford’s F-150 pickup truck, as well as Explorer, Bronco and Edge SUVs and Lincoln Nautilus and Aviator SUVs. All are from the 2021 and 2022 model years and are equipped with 2.7-liter or 3.0-liter V6 turbocharged engines.
Engines are a type of motor
I don’t think everyone agrees with that statement. https://www.kia.com/dm/discover-kia/ask/is-an-engine-a-motor.html
If you work with this stuff often the vernacular is a bit clearer than the typical person off the street.
In the United States, it’s called the department of motor vehicles. It would be pretty weird if almost all motor vehicles lacked motors.
KIA may not agree with that, but they’re also wrong. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/motor

Hopefully I don’t need to keep linking dictionaries.
Okay start calling gas engines “Internal Combustion Motors” around some car types. See how long until someone calls you out as an idiot and you can bring up your dictionary and show them how you’re right and they’re wrong.
Or, I’ll just keep calling them engines/motors like everyone else does. Also, I am a car type.
