2005–2009 Setra S417 recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Setra of North America (Setra) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 S417 coaches manufactured March 1, 2005, to February 28, 2009, that had service part lower control arm(s) installed. The hot crimping that connects the tube ends to the control arm joint housing shafts may crack, causing the tube to separate from the shaft.
💥 The risk
Should the tube crack and separate from the shaft of the vehicle, loss of vehicle control is possible, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
MCI, the sales agent for these vehicles, notified owners verbally, and dealers will replace the lower control arms, free of charge. The recall began on March 28, 2016. Owners may contact Setra customer service at 1-800-241-2947. Setra's number for this recall is 33.10U10124B.
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.)
