just had the p2112 tb stuck closed fail on a 2016 8500 miles

Now happening on the SHO?  Jeez!

[SHOurpp]

everyone said they never seen it on a sho but actuator stuck closed and a trip to the dealer
interesting note
the original one you could see the gold galvanized blade nut on the side. i tried to use a crescent wrench to free it when i was stuck along the road
the replacement is a sealed unit-

The TB motor has been known to die on occasion.  That plate is like a snapping turtle, care must be exercised if the TB is electrically connected.

That code also comes up as faulty wiring or a shorted throttle body wiring harness and even a bad pcm.

I remember you having problems with flashing the car and the ecu locking up.

Seems wierd that the throttle body blade seized up after all this time...you can usually push the throttle blade open with your finger...its just a plate on a shaft in a hole

What R U talking about ? that throttle blade will sever your finger right off if not disconnected properly and would advise caution.   
It could also be a faulty electrical connector. Z

Sometimes i wonder what planet you are from...it wont sever your finger

Im just  saying if you took off the pipe and looked at the closed throttle blade you can easily push it with your finger if you were seeing if it was stuck

Zsho, are you the type of person that thinks it's appropriate that the car mfg's are required to tell people that the commercials are filmed on a closed course and should not be attempted?

You are not suppose to intervene with natural selection...if someone is dumb enough to do something that harms them then it was suppose to happen...you may be keeping people alive that shouldnt be

what's wrong with advising caution!!!! It will sever your finger off if precautionary measures are not taken that's all.
I think you need to move on my friend. Z

A lot of people never get into the knitty gritty of the mechanicals of their cars.  Many are simply not uptodate on the technology.  Doesn't make them dumb or foolhardy.

Safety Recall 17S23 – Electronic Power Assist Steering Heat Shield Fastener Inspection – 2017 Ford Explorer & Taurus

August 28, 2017 NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V530000
Loss of Power Assisted Steering

If the heat shield detaches, the steering gear may overheat, increasing the steering effort required by the driver, especially at lower speeds, and increasing the risk of a crash.

NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V530000

Manufacturer Ford Motor Company

Components STEERING

Potential Number of Units Affected 253

Summary

In some of the affected vehicles, the fasteners used to secure the electronic power assist steering (EPAS) heat shield may not have sufficient corrosion protection.  If the fasteners do not have sufficient corrosion protection, they may not retain the heat shield over time, exposing the steering gear to higher than expected temperatures.  If the steering gear connectors melt, the driver may experience loss of assist accompanied by the fault message "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" in the instrument cluster.  Loss of power steering assist while driving would result in higher steering efforts, especially at lower speeds.

Remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers to inspect and replace the heat shield fasteners as needed, free of charge. The recall began on September 13, 2017. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 17S23.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
