lets look at it this way,
taken for the movie "fight club"
ford screws up designing both the 3l and the 2.5
"X"x"Y">"Z"
x=cost to fix
y=number of proven complaints
z=cost of a recall and legal costs
since the problem is a few years old and kind of isolated to certain owners the chance of ford even coming out and saying there is a problem is slim. that might explain why Terry wont say anything. since the problem hasnt been publicised by the media or consumer reports and since not all motors are spinning bearings that would keep the cost of fix and number of complaints below the price of a national and/or worldwide recall. i think what might need to happen is find out how to fix this problem with what we have. will the baffled oil pans help? design a better way to lubricate the main caps? maybe pressurized line routed into and through the pan that squirts even more oil onto the bearings might be good idea to fix the lubrication problem. if its sand then how many engines are doomed to failure becasue of a mold issue. how can we fix this. is there a way to filter oil as its pumped into the oil pick up tube? maybe these are areas to look at. or people should start taking there valve covers off looking for such problems and documenting and sending facts to a consumer reports company. let me know if this is a good idea or i just had another fucktard relapse.

Well the formula part adds up (typical big business) but everything after that does not come close.
Matter of fact most of your ideas go against the information already posted and the others...

i would say start a petition to car and driver documenting all the known cases so far. maybe that will reflect on consumer reports and ford might get mad.
