## What is wrong

Godwin Manufacturing Company, Inc. \(Godwin\) is recalling certain model year 2010 Ford F\-450; 2011 Ford F\-550; 2012 Ford F\-350 and 2013 F\-350 Super Duty trucks modified by Godwin and 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

Godwin 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 October 28, 2014.  Owners may contact Godwin customer service at 1\-800\-892\-0181.


## 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.
