2003–2007 Setra S417 recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor coaches, the electrical wire preparation for the control of solar roof hatches was not carried out properly. This wiring may contain open energized wire ends located in the harness.
💥 The risk
If the open wire ends come into contact with parts of the frame, it may be possible for a short circuit to occur and then a subsequent fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will send out technicians to disconnect the power to the wires and reroute the wires properly free of charge. The recall began on may 18, 2007. Owners may 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.)
