Ford is recalling 42 2009-2014 F-550 Sd trucks modified with certain Muncie Power Products PTO assemblies because oil can leak from the PTO pressure switch onto a thermal blanket covering the exhaust.

What's wrong?
The power take-off, or PTO, assembly on these 2009-2014 Ford F-550 Sd trucks lets truck-mounted equipment draw power from the drivetrain. A pressure switch on that PTO assembly helps monitor oil pressure in the unit while the equipment system is operating. Near it, a thermal blanket covers part of the exhaust to manage heat.
On affected trucks, oil can leak from the PTO pressure switch. The leak is located where oil can drip or run onto the thermal blanket over the exhaust. That blanket sits around a hot exhaust area, so oil on the blanket creates a heat-related safety concern instead of a simple fluid leak.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner or operator should treat any oil smell, visible oil near the PTO, or oil on the exhaust blanket as a reason to stop using the equipment system and have the truck inspected.

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. With exhaust heat, that oil raises the risk of fire. Schedule the recall repair soon, and treat any visible oil leak, smoke, or burning-oil smell as a reason to stop driving and call a Ford dealer. 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-550 Sd is included in this recall.
- Wait for the owner notice tied to your VIN if you have not received one, then contact a franchised Ford dealer.
- Schedule the free pressure-switch kit installation that moves the leaking PTO pressure switch away from the hot exhaust area.
- Reference recall number 14V336 when you call, and bring the recall notice if you have it.
- Park away from structures and avoid using the truck until the dealer gives repair or movement guidance.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ford technician will install a new PTO pressure switch kit. The kit moves the pressure switch away from the exhaust system, reducing the chance that oil from the switch reaches the thermal blanket around the exhaust. The dealer repair will be free once available. Ask the service desk to confirm the kit applies to your VIN before the truck is brought in for service.
