The 2010 Ford F-450 SD has 3 recalls, all centered on the same fire risk: a power take-off pressure switch that can leak oil onto the exhaust's thermal blanket, where heat from the exhaust can ignite it.
These recalls affect vehicles that were upfitted by third-party equipment companies and fitted with certain Muncie Power Take-Off assemblies. The leaking switch was not part of the truck's core function, and the fix involves removing it entirely and plugging the port it occupied.
