What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Daimler Coaches North America (Daimler Coaches) is recalling certain 2009-2020 Setra S417 and 2012-2019 Setra S407 vehicles. The hinge on the engine compartment flap may crack, which could result in the flap detaching from the vehicle.

The risk

A detached engine compartment flap can become a road hazard, and increase the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dealers will attach a restraining tether to the engine compartment flap, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 13, 2021. Owners may contact Daimler Coaches' customer service at 1-416-624-3558. Daimler Coaches' number for this recall is TI#: 75.00U21166A. This recall supersedes previous recall number 20V394.

Notes

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