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

Affects Ford F-550, F-450, F-350 · 2009–2013 — about 3 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

PJ's has notified owners and dealers will install a new pressure switch kit that moves the switch away from the exhaust system, free of charge. The recall began on August 28, 2014. Owners may contact PJ's customer service at 1-866-475-8782.
