What happened

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2011-2015 Ford F-350, F-450, and F-550 trucks manufactured between February 22, 2010, and January 30, 2015, that are equipped with ambulance or fire engine preparation packages. These vehicles may incorrectly detect an Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor fault, causing the engine management system to shut down the engine and prevent immediate restart.

The potential hazard is that an engine shutdown and required cool down period may delay medical treatment or emergency assistance to those who need it, increasing the risk of injury. Ford will notify owners, and dealers will update the Powertrain Control Module software at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's recall number is 15S09.
