Plain-English summary

James A. Kiley Co. is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 Terex LT38, LT40, and T292 utility vehicles. These vehicles were built on Ford F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty chassis modified by James A. Kiley and are equipped with certain Muncie Power Products PTO Assemblies.

The recall is due to a defect where 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 condition may result in an increased risk of fire.

James A. Kiley will notify owners, and dealers will install a new pressure switch kit that moves the switch away from the exhaust system, free of charge. Owners may contact James A. Kiley customer service at 1-617-776-0344 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
