2011–2012 Setra S417 TC & 2012 Setra S407 CC recall: seats

⚠️ What's wrong

Setra of North America (Setra) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 S417TC buses manufactured August 2, 2010, to October 3, 2011, and 2012 Setra S407CC buses manufactured August 2, 2010, to July 4, 2011, and equipped with certain Recaro Ergo-M Commercial Bus Driver Seats. The affected seats have J-Brackets that may be missing welds which could allow the seat belt anchorage assembly to separate from the J-Bracket.

💥 The risk

If the seatbelt anchorage assembly separates from the J-Bracket, the bus driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash increasing their risk of injury.

🔧 The fix

Setra will notify owners, and the seats will be inspected to determine if any welds are missing. Any J-Bracket that is missing welds will be removed and replaced, free of charge. The recall began on February 24, 2016. Owners may contact Setra customer service at 1-800-241-2947 or Recaro customer service at 1-248-484-3203. Setra's number for this recall is 91.10U10086A.

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.)
