Recall 14V307 affects 19 2010-2014 Ford F-550 Sd and F-350 Sd trucks for PTO pressure-switch oil leaks. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.
Ford is recalling 19 2010-2014 F-350 Sd and F-550 Sd vehicles modified with Muncie Power Products PTO assemblies because oil can leak from the pressure switch onto a thermal blanket over the exhaust. Oil-soaked insulation near exhaust heat increases the risk of fire, and the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The power take-off, or PTO, assembly on these 2010-2014 Ford F-550 Sd and F-350 Sd trucks lets added equipment draw power from the truck's drivetrain. A pressure switch on that assembly helps monitor PTO oil pressure while the added equipment system is operating. The switch and its seal need to keep oil inside the PTO housing.
On affected trucks modified by Tactical Vehicle Outfitters, oil can leak from the PTO pressure switch. The leak path matters because the oil can drip onto a thermal blanket covering the exhaust. That blanket sits near hot exhaust parts, so the defect puts leaking oil in a high-heat area instead of keeping it contained inside the PTO assembly.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not expect a dashboard light, sound, or driveability change before oil starts leaking from the pressure switch.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
Leaking oil can soak into the thermal blanket over the exhaust. Exhaust heat then raises the risk of a fire. Schedule the recall repair soon, and have any oil leak near the exhaust checked before regular use continues. Repair will be free at any franchised Ford dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010-2014 Ford F-550 Sd or F-350 Sd is included in this recall.
- Watch for the owner notice before scheduling the free repair.
- Contact a franchised Ford dealer and reference recall number 14V307 when the repair is open.
- Ask for the PTO pressure switch replacement that stops oil from leaking onto the exhaust thermal blanket.
- Avoid operating PTO equipment until the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ford technician installs a new PTO pressure switch on the PTO assembly. The repair addresses oil leaking from the pressure switch onto the thermal blanket around the exhaust. Tactical's filing says owner notification began on August 1, 2014, and the dealer repair is free. Ask the service desk to confirm the PTO pressure switch replacement is complete for your VIN before you put the truck back into regular service.
