What's wrong?
The affected 2009-2013 Ford F-450 Sd, F-550 Sd, and F-350 Sd trucks were modified with Muncie Power Products PTO assemblies. PTO means power take-off, a system that lets the truck send engine or transmission power to added equipment. The PTO pressure switch is part of that assembly and helps control or monitor hydraulic pressure while the added equipment is in use.
In NHTSA campaign 14V360, the problem is oil leaking from the PTO pressure switch. That oil can drip onto a thermal blanket wrapped around the exhaust. The blanket is meant to manage exhaust heat, not hold oil. Once oil soaks into material near the exhaust, the area no longer behaves like a clean heat shield.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners are not told to expect a dashboard light, smell, noise, or change in how the truck drives before the leak reaches the exhaust blanket.

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 against oil-soaked material increases the risk of fire. If your VIN is included, schedule the recall repair soon and ask the dealer whether the vehicle needs inspection before regular use. Repair will be free at any franchised Ford dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2009-2013 Ford F-350 Sd, F-450 Sd, or F-550 Sd is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ford dealer and ask whether the pressure-switch kit is available for recall number 14V360.
- Schedule the pressure-switch kit installation that moves the switch away from the exhaust and stops PTO oil from leaking onto the thermal blanket.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and give the dealer Palfleet customer service number 502-376-2458 if they need recall support.
- Park outside and away from structures if you see oil near the PTO pressure switch or smell oil heating near the exhaust, then ask the dealer about towing.
What happens at the repair
The recall filing describes a dealer repair but does not mark the remedy as available. Once the repair is open, a Ford technician installs a new pressure switch kit that moves the PTO pressure switch away from the exhaust system. That separates the oil leak point from the thermal blanket around the exhaust. The final dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall.
