Recall 14V327 covers 10 2009-2014 Ford F-350 Sd, F-450 Sd, and F-550 Sd vehicles equipped with certain Muncie Power Products PTO assemblies. Oil from the PTO pressure switch can leak onto a thermal blanket over the exhaust, and exhaust heat raises the risk of fire; the Ford dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The power take-off, or PTO, assembly on these 2009-2014 Ford F-350 Sd, F-450 Sd, and F-550 Sd trucks lets the truck drive added work equipment from the vehicle's drivetrain. A pressure switch on that assembly helps monitor or control oil pressure for the PTO system. Near it, a thermal blanket covers part of the exhaust to contain heat and protect nearby parts.
On affected trucks modified by Stahl and equipped with certain Muncie Power Products PTO assemblies, oil can leak from the PTO pressure switch. That leaked oil lands on the thermal blanket instead of staying sealed inside the PTO system. Because the blanket sits over the exhaust, the defect puts oil on a heat-shielding part exposed to exhaust temperatures.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not rely on a smell, stain, or dashboard light to confirm this recall, because the filing does not identify an advance symptom.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific truck.
What's the safety risk?
Oil leaking onto the thermal blanket around the exhaust can combine with exhaust heat and increase fire risk. The filing does not list a warning sign before this condition, so schedule the repair once it is available. Repair will be free at any franchised Ford dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2009-2014 Ford F-350 Sd, F-550 Sd, or F-450 Sd is included in this recall.
- Watch for the owner letter mailed on November 12, 2014, or ask a franchised Ford dealer to look up recall number 14V327 for your VIN.
- Ask the Ford dealer whether the free pressure switch kit is open for your truck.
- Schedule the pressure switch kit installation that moves the leaking PTO pressure switch away from the exhaust blanket and reduces fire risk.
- Bring any recall notice or prior repair paperwork to the dealer visit.
What happens at the repair
Once the final repair is available, a Ford technician will install a new pressure switch kit for the PTO system. The kit moves the pressure switch away from the exhaust system, where leaking oil can reach the thermal blanket. The recall notice says owners will be notified before the dealer work is handled. The final dealer repair will be free once it opens, with parts and labor covered under the recall.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 14V327?
Recall 14V327 covers 10 2009-2014 Ford F-350 Sd, F-450 Sd, and F-550 Sd vehicles modified with certain Muncie Power Products PTO assemblies. Oil from the PTO pressure switch can leak onto a thermal blanket over the exhaust, increasing fire risk.
What should I do if my 2009-2014 Ford F-350 Sd, F-550 Sd, or F-450 Sd is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific truck is included in recall 14V327. If it is, contact a franchised Ford dealer and ask for the pressure switch kit repair. Reference recall number 14V327 when you call. The repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the recall repair to be performed at no cost. Dealers will install a new pressure switch kit that moves the switch away from the exhaust system, with parts and labor covered.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is fire. Oil leaking from the PTO pressure switch can soak into the thermal blanket covering the exhaust, and exhaust heat can ignite the oil-soaked material. If your VIN is included, arrange the free dealer repair.
What if I bought this Ford truck used?
The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the VIN, not the first owner. Check your VIN to see whether your specific F-350 Sd, F-450 Sd, or F-550 Sd is included, then give recall number 14V327 to the dealer.
