There are too many reasons why the motor would rattle like a turbo, intercooler or just a cooling fan. Take it to the dealer before the warranty runs out. There are a number of reported complete engine failures with the EcoBoost engines by the NTSB.

Agree with Marc. Go to the dealer while you still have warranty.

I did decide to take it in to the dealer and I was told it was normal. Idk if they were just halfassing the inspection or what but I was told its part of the turbo and they cover it up when they come off the assembly line to prevent it from louder rattling.I had A 2005 ford f150 and that thing ticked,so that is why im wondering.
