The 2009 Ford F-450 SD has 2 recalls, both addressing the same fire risk: oil leaking from a power take-off pressure switch can soak into the thermal blanket covering the exhaust and ignite. These recalls apply to vehicles modified with certain Muncie Power Products PTO assemblies, and the fix involves inspecting the pressure switch and, if it is from the affected batch, removing it and plugging the port since the switch was not being used in the system.
