This 2016 Ford Explorer utilizes a timing chain, which is built to last the entire lifespan of the vehicle. If everything goes smoothly, you shouldn't have to worry about it. However, there is still a possibility of damage or failure. If the timing chain does fail, the car will quickly overheat. Replacing it would cost around $100 for the new part and another $100 for labor. When purchasing a replacement chain online, be careful as some retailers may incorrectly label both timing chains and timing belts as cam belts. It's important to ensure you are getting the correct part to avoid ending up with a useless component.
