The 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty has 2 recalls, both involving oil that can leak from a power take-off assembly onto an exhaust heat blanket, creating a fire risk on vehicles modified with certain Jerr-Dan or Vanair equipment.
In both cases, oil from the power take-off pressure switch soaks into the thermal blanket wrapped around the exhaust, and the heat from the exhaust can ignite it. These recalls only affect trucks that were upfitted after leaving the factory, specifically those equipped with certain Muncie Power Products power take-off assemblies paired with Jerr-Dan body modifications or Vanair-driven air compressor systems.
