Comments: As soon as Ford released the newest TSB concerning Phasers and chain I took it into my dealer which previously had knowledge of the issues. They had done more than one and I had it in right away. 2 Day fix.

My 2013 with 36375 milage just did this today on start up. Will make an appointment with the dealer and point out tsb-15-0131 and see if they fix it. Will update after dealer visit.

Update, when I took it in to the dealer back when it first happened . They could not duplicate the noise. I had the truck in the shop last week for a starting issue and was able to show the service writer and tech the noise on start up. They are going to fix it under warrant as I'm still under the 5/60 powertrain warranty. Just waiting on two parts to come in then I'll drop it off. New tsb is 16-0027 that it is being fixed under. But still had to tell them about the TSB

First Noticed 90,000 miles
Dealer Replaced Engine at 92-93,000 miles
Current Mileage 94,000 miles
No apparent catastrophic failure.
Runs great, but it also ran great before they replaced the engine. Had to sit a few days before the noise could be heard. If I started it every day it was fine.

First Noticed - 50-60k miles
Dealer Performed TSB 16-0027 last week at 80,900 miles, 100% covered under ESP
Current Mileage 81,500
Dealer was ready to do the work as soon as I drove up. Called them the day before and told them about the noise, told them I had video. Service writer already had all parts in stock. Drove up, got in rental, texted videos to service writer, and work was done in 2 days.

Mine was fixed under ESP before i hit the 75K mile warranty. They supposedly replaced all according to TSB. Started again August, 2018. Contacted ford they told me that i had until November 16th, 2018 as warranty for the repair. Truck is in the shop now with 95K Miles, TSB being applied again... No Charge.
Point is, a good dealership will honor their warranty repaired parts with the new warranty for the part(s) from the TSB (or they should.) So this timing chain rattle... Dunno if the initial parts were from the stock of original OEM parts and new, harder chains and tensioners, etc are being used now but I would think that by now, Ford would have addressed it at the parts level. There is no reason for Timing Chains to stretch and slap around after 20K miles of use.
