## What is wrong

Utility Truck Equipment Company, LLC \(Utility Truck\) is recalling certain model year 2010\-2013 UTLI41A, 2011 UTLN41, and 2012 UTLN46 aerial trucks manufactured December 2010 to September 2013 equipped with certain Muncie Power Products PTO Assemblies installed on 2010\-2013 Ford F\-350, F\-450 and F\-550 vehicles.  In the affected vehicles, oil may leak from the PTO pressure switch onto a thermal blanket covering the exhaust.


## What can happen

The leaking oil may soak into the thermal blanket covering the exhaust, which when combined with heat from exhaust, may result in an increased risk of fire.


## The remedy

Utility Truck will notify owners, and dealers will install a new pressure switch kit that moves the switch away from the exhaust system, free of charge. The recall began in June 2014.  Owners may contact Utility Truck customer service at 1\-254\-857\-8813.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
