The 2013 Ford F-550 has 2 recalls, both centered on the same fire risk: oil leaking from the power take-off (PTO) pressure switch can soak into the thermal blanket wrapped around the exhaust and ignite.
The leaking oil, once absorbed into that insulating blanket, can reach ignition temperature from normal exhaust heat. Both recalls cover vehicles modified with certain Muncie Power Products PTO assemblies, filed by different upfitters who installed the affected equipment.
