Defect. Special Fleet Service, Inc. (Special Fleet) is recalling certain model year 2009-2013 Ford F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty vehicles modified by Special Fleet and equipped with certain Muncie Power Products PTO Assemblies. In the affected vehicles, oil may leak from the PTO pressure switch onto a thermal blanket covering the exhaust.

Risk. The leaking oil may soak into the thermal blanket covering the exhaust, which when combined with heat from exhaust, may result in an increased risk of fire.

Remedy. Special Fleet has notified owners and provided a new pressure switch kit that moves the switch away from the exhaust system, free of charge. The recall began on June 26, 2014. Owners may contact Special Fleet customer service at 1-800-395-2152.

Reading this record

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.
