- Summary
- Wheeled coach is recalling 215 my 2008 F-350, F-450, and F-550 rescue vehicles built on Ford chassis and equipped with 6.4L diesel engines. It has been determined that the connection of the master switch yellow 16GA wire to the OEM PTO enable circuit disrupts the regeneration mode when the master switch is in the "on" position. The regeneration mode failure will eventually cause the 6.4L diesel engine to reduce power and enter in to a limp home mode.
- Consequence
- The regeneration mode failure will cause the 6.4L diesel engine to reduce power increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Wheeled coach will mail out relay kits along with installation instructions. Customers can also take their vehicle to a service center to have the relay installed if they so desire. The recall began on June 12, 2008. Owners may contact wheeled coach at 1-800-932-7077.

Has your Ford been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.
