Recall 14V382 covers 4 2009-2013 Ford F-350 Sd, F-450 Sd, and F-550 Sd trucks for PTO oil leaks. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.

Four 2009-2013 Ford F-350 Sd, F-450 Sd, and F-550 Sd chassis are included in recall 14V382 because oil can leak from a PTO pressure switch onto the exhaust thermal blanket. Oil soaked into that blanket can heat up and increase fire risk; the Ford dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The PTO assembly on the 2009-2013 Ford F-450 Sd, F-550 Sd, and F-350 Sd trucks lets equipment draw power from the truck's drivetrain while the 6.8L gasoline engine is running. Its pressure switch is part of that add-on power system. The switch helps monitor hydraulic pressure so the power take-off equipment works as intended.

On the affected trucks, oil can leak from the PTO pressure switch. The leak path matters because the oil lands on a thermal blanket covering the exhaust. That blanket sits near very hot exhaust parts, so oil in that area creates a heat and contamination problem instead of staying contained inside the PTO assembly.

There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not expected to get a dashboard message or clear driving symptom before the oil leak reaches the exhaust blanket.

Who's affected?

Covers three Ford truck classes across the 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 model years, split between equipment and gasoline-engine components.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. 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 promptly, and avoid ignoring any visible oil leak near the exhaust area. Repair will be free at any franchised Ford dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2009-2013 Ford F-450 Sd, F-550 Sd, or F-350 Sd is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Ford dealer to confirm the free pressure-switch kit for your VIN.
  3. Schedule the pressure-switch kit installation that moves the oil-leak source away from the exhaust thermal blanket.
  4. Bring the recall notice if Somerset mailed one. If not, reference recall number 14V382 when you call.
  5. Keep the truck away from dry grass, enclosed spaces, and other fire hazards until the repair is complete.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Ford technician installs a new pressure switch kit for the PTO assembly. The kit moves the pressure switch away from the exhaust system, so leaked oil is kept away from the thermal blanket around the exhaust. The recall notice began in August 2014. Because the current remedy status is not listed here, confirm your VIN before scheduling service. If your VIN is included and the repair is open, the dealer repair is free.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 14V382?

Recall 14V382 covers 4 2009-2013 Ford F-350 Sd, F-450 Sd, and F-550 Sd chassis modified with certain Muncie Power Products PTO assemblies. Oil can leak from the PTO pressure switch onto a thermal blanket over the exhaust, increasing fire risk.

What should I do if my 2009-2013 Ford F-350 Sd, F-450 Sd, or F-550 Sd is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific truck is included in recall 14V382. If it is, contact a franchised Ford dealer and ask for the pressure switch kit repair. Reference recall number 14V382 when you call.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost. For recall 14V382, dealers install a new pressure switch kit that moves the switch away from the exhaust system free of charge.

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. Heat from the exhaust and oil in that blanket increase the fire risk until the pressure switch kit repair is complete.

What if I bought this Ford truck used?

The free repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the VIN, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific F-350 Sd, F-450 Sd, or F-550 Sd is included, then call a franchised Ford dealer with recall number 14V382.
