The 2013 Ford F-350 SD has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fire risk on vehicles modified with certain power take-off assemblies, where oil leaking from a PTO pressure switch can soak into an exhaust heat blanket and ignite.
These two fire-risk recalls affect trucks modified by specific upfitters, so not all F-350s are involved. On the drivetrain side, trucks built with ambulance or fire engine preparation packages have a transmission control module that can cause the engine to shut down unexpectedly, requiring a cool-down period before restarting, which can delay emergency response.
