Not that rare. Got me twice in a row. Took delivery April 16th and have driven a total of 170 miles with two wastegate failures.
I check for new parts everyday like a wife checks for packages she ordered
Two wastegate failures on the same bronco so close together hopefully means the same batch possibly used for production and replacements OR possibly something else is tripping the failure.
Sounds like if you got a 2021 model, you want a 2.3. If you got a 2022 model, you want a 2.7 (pending how many MY22 2.7 failures have happened--if any).
I've had my 2.3 MT BL almost 9 months/3K miles. Thankfully zero issues. To boot, it runs much better now vs stock after adding a whipple v-top high flow air filter, Boomba BOV adapter to release hot air from the charge pipe, premium fuel only, full synthetic oil added @ 2K miles runs cooler/smoother, and sprint booster product NT Auto sells right here on BN (link below). The turbo and 2.3 engine both Love the sprint booster (so does the 2.7).
SPRINT BOOSTER: SECURITY & PERFORMANCE (WON'T VOID WARRANTY!!)
Hello Bronco Nation!! Sprint Booster V3 (Version 3) is the single best mod you can add to your bronco (Bronco AND Bronco Sport) without breaking the bank or voiding the factory warranty. Whether you want better performance, crisper more reliable throttle response at intersections, highway...

I have 22 2.3 MT BL. Those upgrades sound great --- I'll be looking to do similar when I have all the stock parts working lolTwo wastegate failures on the same bronco so close together hopefully means the same batch possibly used for production and replacements OR possibly something else is tripping the failure.

I have offers from dealers to buy it back from me and give me a big discount on something else (F150 probably), but I don't want something else. I'll just trust that eventually I'll have the Bronco I chose two years ago.
Curious, looked through my old American Muscle orders and saw I ordered this for my old Mustang: Turbosmart IWG75 Internal Wastegate; 10 PSI (15-22 Mustang EcoBoost)
Think it'd work on our 2.3?

You’re in the majority. People tend to take to the internet to air grievances rather than share great reviews. The 2.7 is a solid engine. I owned 1 in the past (F150) and own 2 now (F150 & Edge ST). Zero issues. Zero warranty work.
