What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Setra of North America (Setra) is recalling certain 2017 Setra S407CC motor coaches. The vehicle's exterior covers which are bonded to powder coated frames may detach from the vehicle because the powder coating may peel off of the frame.

The risk

Any panels that detach can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

The affected vehicles have not been sold to customers and are still in inventory. They will be repaired by the US importer, prior to being put into service. Therefore, an owner notification letter will not be issued. Owners may contact Setra customer service at 1-800-241-2947. Setra's number for this recall is 98.10M10519A.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
