The defect
James A. Kiley, Co. (James A. Kiley) is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 Terex LT38, LT40, and T292 utility vehicles built on Ford F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty chassis modified by James A. Kiley 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.
The risk
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.
The remedy
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.
