# NHTSA recall 14V382000 A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups. - Published by: NHTSA \(United States\) - Campaign number: 14V382000 - Manufacturer: SOMERSET WELDING \& STEEL, INC. - Reported: 2014\-06\-10 - Owners notified: 2014\-08\-04 - Component: EQUIPMENT; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE - Units potentially affected: 4 ## What is wrong Somerset Welding \& Steel, doing business as J\&J Truck equipment \(J\&J\), is recalling certain model year 2009\-2013 Ford F\-350, F\-450, and F\-550 Super Duty chassis with 6.8L gasoline engines modified by J\&J to be equipped with certain Muncie Power Products PTO Assemblies. 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 Somerset 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 August 2014. Owner's may contact Somerset customer service at 1\-800\-777\-2671. ## 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. ## Vehicles this campaign lists - [2009 FORD F\-350 SD](/makes/ford/f-350/2009/recalls.md).
