Defect. Jerr-Dan Corporation is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 Standard Duty Wrecker vehicles manufactured October 4, 2010, through March 1, 2012. The affected vehicles are built on a Ford Super Duty Chassis and equipped with the 6.2L Triton Gasoline engine fitted with a Muncie Power Products clutch pump power take off (PTO).

On July 10, 2013, Jerr-Dan notified the agency that it would be recalling 12 Muncie Clutch Pumps PTO kits sold through its service department.
Risk. Brake line chafing may lead a loss of brake pressure resulting in additional distances being required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy. Jerr-Dan will notify owners will provide a free remedy. The recall began on July 26, 2013. A notification schedule has not yet been provided. Owners may contact Jerr-Dan at 1-800-923-9666.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
