2010 Ford F-350 Regular Cab recalls & complaints
Source: NHTSA, updated daily. Last checked 2026-10-18. Recalls apply to specific VINs — run your VIN to confirm.
1 safety recall, most serious first
1. Equipment
What's wrong, in plain English: A part or accessory supplied with the vehicle. PJ's Truck Bodies & Equipment Co., (PJ's) is recalling certain 2009-2013 Ford F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty chassis modified by PJ's 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.
What could happen: 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 fix: PJ's has notified 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 on August 28, 2014. Owners may contact PJ's customer service at 1-866-475-8782.
What to do
- Check whether your car is affected: enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall covers specific VINs, not every 2010 F-350 REGULAR CAB.
- Book a repair at any authorized Ford dealer. Quote NHTSA campaign 14V498000.
- The repair is free. By US law, safety recall repairs cost the owner nothing, no matter the car's age or mileage.
- Manufacturer hotline: 1-866-475-8782.
- Buying this car used? Ask the seller for proof the recall was completed, or run the VIN yourself before paying.

WHILE DRIVING THIS TRUCK AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND HITTING A BUMP THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO BUT HOLD ON AND LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR TILL IT STOPS.
