What's wrong?

The power take-off, or PTO, on affected 2009-2014 Ford F-350 Super Duty, F-450 Super Duty, and F-550 Super Duty trucks lets body equipment use power from the truck's transmission. The PTO pressure switch helps sense when that auxiliary drive system is operating, so the equipment and truck controls respond correctly.

In these trucks, the pressure switch was installed too close to the engine exhaust pipe. Exhaust heat damages the switch's internal rubber diaphragm, the flexible seal that keeps transmission fluid inside the switch. As the diaphragm becomes brittle, transmission fluid can seep through the switch body and drip onto the thermal blanket around the exhaust.

There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not expected to see a dashboard warning or feel a driving change before fluid reaches the exhaust heat blanket, so the issue depends on inspection and repair of the affected PTO switch setup.

Who's affected?

Spans F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty trucks across the 2009-2014 model years, with the same equipment component listed for each truck class.

The year and model narrow the list, 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 raises the risk of fire. Schedule the recall repair soon and avoid unnecessary driving until a Ford dealer gives recall guidance. Repair will be free at any franchised Ford dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2009-2014 Ford F-350 Super Duty, F-550 Super Duty, or F-450 Super Duty is included in this recall.
  2. Wait for Jerr-Dan's repair notice before scheduling the final repair if your dealer says the kit is not open yet.
  3. Contact a franchised Ford dealer with recall number 14V507 and ask about the free pressure-switch kit that moves the oil-leak source away from the exhaust heat.
  4. Bring the recall notice if Jerr-Dan has mailed one, and keep any repair paperwork for your records.
  5. Park away from dry grass, debris, and heat-sensitive areas until the oil-leak and exhaust-blanket fire risk is repaired.

What happens at the repair

The final dealer repair is not listed as available yet. Once it opens, 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 so oil from the switch does not leak onto the thermal blanket around the exhaust. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 14V507?

What should I do if my 2009-2014 Ford F-350 Super Duty, F-550 Super Duty, or F-450 Super Duty is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific truck is included in recall 14V507. If it is, call a franchised Ford dealer and reference recall 14V507. Ask whether the pressure switch kit is ready and whether the dealer needs to inspect the PTO assembly before repair.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost. For recall 14V507, the dealer installs 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. In recall 14V507, oil leaking from the PTO pressure switch can soak into the thermal blanket around the exhaust. Heat from the exhaust can then increase fire risk. If you smell burning oil or see smoke, stop driving and call the dealer.

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 2009-2014 Ford Super Duty chassis is included, then give recall 14V507 to the dealer when you call.
