Angry 2017 Precept 31ul. Engine problems

We have a 2017 Jayco Precept 31ul, original owners with 21000 miles. Recently our engine light came on and we took the rig to our local RV mechanic. He diagnosed that there was a misfire on cylinder 3. He replaced the spark plug but the engine light came on again. He suggested that we take it to a Ford dealer since the engine is still under warranty. We found a Ford dealer and after they diagnosed it they said that cylinder 3 has lost compression and 3 other cylinders also had issues. They are doing more tests and should be calling tomorrow to let us know what it needs and if Ford is going to cover it. My question is; has anyone else had these kind of issues and what was the resolution?
Thank you in advance!

This is the first post here about F-53 engine problems. Have Ford install a new engine, you have a lemon.

Have not heard of an engine problems, other than Jayco leaving the bird sock on, during the build.

What engine is in it? I assume its Ford's Triton V10, that they use in a lot of heavy duty gasoline engine trucks. You can do a google search and see what is being discussed.

He has the F53 chassis like I said. I have one also and it's one of the most robust and reliable engines (Triton V-10) Ford's ever produced.

Mine had a yellow light come on and the dealer said it was a misfire warning. They reflashed the code and it was fixed under warranty.
