Monroe Truck Equipment
The problem
Monroe Truck Equipment (Monroe) is recalling certain model year 2009-2013 Ford F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty chassis modified by Monroe and equipped with certain Muncie Power Products PTO Assemblies. In the affected vehicles, oil may leak from the PTO pressure switch onto a thermal blanket covering the exhaust.
Risk
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 owners should do
Monroe will notify 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 in August 2014. Owners may contact Monroe customer service at 1-608-329-8454.
