What is wrong

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.

The risk

The regeneration mode failure will cause the 6.4l diesel engine to reduce power increasing the risk of a crash.
