Electrical System › Alternator/Generator/Regulator
Model year 2008
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.

How to read this recall list

This list shows every safety recall campaign NHTSA has on file for this make, model and model year. It is not specific to one vehicle: a recall often covers only vehicles built in a certain date range or with a certain part, and many of the vehicles it covers will already have been repaired.

What each recall field means

What each recall field means
Field	What it tells you
Campaign number	NHTSA's unique ID for the recall, such as 20V771000. Quote it to a dealer or when searching NHTSA's site.
Component	The system or part involved, for example air bags, brakes or electrical software.
Summary	What the defect or non-compliance is and which vehicles are covered.
Consequence	The safety risk if the problem isn't fixed.
Remedy	What the manufacturer will do, such as a repair, replacement or software update, and whether it is free.

Some recalls carry an NHTSA consumer advisory, “Do Not Drive” or “Park Outside”. Follow it until the repair is done.
A single campaign often covers several models or model years, so the same campaign number can appear in more than one list.
Recalls are shown as NHTSA publishes them. Very recent campaigns may take time to appear.
