2003 Setra S417 recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor coaches, incorrect 7.5 amp fuses were installed in the antilock brake (ABS) circuit. The correct fuse is 25 amp.
💥 The risk
The fuse may burn out and render the ABS inoperative. This could cause the wheels to lock resulting in skidding and loss of control of the vehicle, increasking the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace fuses. Owner notification began during december 2003 with phased mailing dates. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact setra at 1-800-882-8054.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
