Manning Recalls Modified Ford Super Duty Trucks Due to Fire Risk

Manning Equipment is recalling 2012-2013 modified Ford Super Duty trucks because oil leaks from the PTO pressure switch onto the exhaust thermal blanket, increasing fire risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (fire hazard) where injury has not yet been reported, meeting the criteria for a High severity score.

Plain-English summary

Manning Equipment Inc. LLC is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Ford F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty vehicles that were modified by Manning and equipped with specific Muncie Power Products PTO Assemblies. The recall involves 10 affected vehicles.

In the affected vehicles, oil may leak from the PTO pressure switch onto a thermal blanket covering the exhaust system. The leaking oil may soak into the thermal blanket, and when combined with heat from the exhaust, this may result in an increased risk of fire.

Manning will notify owners, and dealers will install a new pressure switch kit that moves the switch away from the exhaust system, free of charge. This action is the same as the service campaign action. The recall began in July 2014. Owners may contact Manning at 1-800-876-8768 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
