Plain-English summary

Jerr-Dan Corporation is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 Standard Duty Wrecker vehicles manufactured between October 4, 2010, and March 1, 2012. These vehicles are built on a Ford Super Duty Chassis and equipped with a 6.2L Triton Gasoline engine fitted with a Muncie Power Products clutch pump power take off (PTO). The recall also covers 12 Muncie Clutch Pumps PTO kits sold through the company's service department.

The defect involves the relocation of the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module to accommodate the PTO installation. In this new location, a brake hose from the ABS module may chafe against other components. This chafing may lead to a loss of brake pressure, resulting in additional distances being required to stop the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.

Jerr-Dan notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on July 10, 2013, and the recall began on July 26, 2013. Owners will be notified and provided a free remedy. A notification schedule has not yet been provided. Owners may contact Jerr-Dan at 1-800-923-9666 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
