Recalls for 2019 Setra S407 Cc

DEFECT #1 - ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL

Posted on: 2020-07-14
Description
Daimler coaches north america (dcna) is recalling certain 2018-2019 setra s407 and 2019-2020 setra s417tc motorcoaches.  These vehicles are equipped with a driver-selected electronic stability control (esc) off switch for disabling the traction control portion of esc, allowing it to remain disabled at speeds above 20 km/h.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 136, electronic stability control.

Consequence
If the vehicle is operated above 20 km/h while the electronic stability control system is disabled, there is a greater chance of loss of stability control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Dcna will notify owners, and dealers will replace the esc off switch with a new tc-off button, install an indicator light on the dashboard to indicate when the traction control is deactivated, and perform a software to prevent the esc system from being disabled, update free of charge.  This recall began september 7, 2020.  Owners may contact dcna customer service at 1-800-206-9728.  Dcna's number for this recall is 43.54u20107a.
