Ford F-450 Super Duty, F-550 Super Duty +1 more: Equipment

Affects Ford F-450 Super Duty, F-550 Super Duty, F-350 Super Duty · 2009–2013 — about 49 vehicles.

The hazard

The leaking oil may soak into the thermal blanket covering the exhaust, which when combined with heat from exhaust, may result in an increased risk of fire.

What to do

Vanair will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and install a new pressure switch kit that moves the switch away from the exhaust system, free of charge. The recall began in November 2014. Owners may contact Vanair customer service at 1-800-526-8817.
