- Summary
- Monroe Truck Equipment (Monroe) is recalling certain model year 2009-2013 Ford F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty chassis modified by Monroe 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.
- Consequence
- 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.
- Remedy
- Monroe 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 in August 2014. Owners may contact Monroe customer service at 1-608-329-8454.

Has your Monroe 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. A Monroe dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
