3.5L Explorer at 320k km – how real is the water pump failure risk?

2014 Ford Explorer XLT

Cooling system just serviced, no leaks, coolant stable after ~7k km.

I know these engines have internal water pump concerns.

Recently did:

Transmission drain & fill

Coolant flush

Full inspection (no major issues)

Runs smooth, no leaks, no codes.

👉 For long-term owners:

Did your water pump fail suddenly or give warning signs?

At what mileage did it happen (if it did)?

Ford Pass location is way off

My 2023 Explorer is in Waco, Texas right now but the Ford Pass App shows it here.

If I wasn’t on the phone with my wife as she is driving, I would think it was stolen and inside a container ship.

Hate technology at times.

Touch screen hot

I went on a road trip and by the end the touchscreen was hot to the touch. As in so hot it was like touching hot plates in a restaurants kitchen.

Is there a fix?

2017 ford explorer

Recently bought a 2017 ford explorer with 2.3 ecoboost with 90k miles in south korea. Ive had it for 3 weeks now, and started hearing a bit of a noise. Looked inside the oil fill port and i believe thats the cam shaft and it has visible wear. Does anyone know what this means, what the possible culprit is? Its still under warranty for about 1 more week so id like to figure it out as soon as possible thanks!
