STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
- The defect
- Daimler Coaches North America (Daimler Coaches) is recalling certain 2009-2020 Setra S417 and 2012-2019 Setra S407 vehicles. The hinge on the engine compartment flap may crack, which could result in the flap detaching from the vehicle.
- What it can cause
- A detached engine compartment flap can become a road hazard, and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will attach a restraining tether to the engine compartment flap, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 13, 2021. Owners may contact Daimler Coaches' customer service at 1-416-624-3558. Daimler Coaches' number for this recall is TI#: 75.00U21166A. This recall supersedes previous recall number 20V394.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|
| SetraS407 | 2012 to 2019 | Not published here |
| SetraS417 | 2009 to 2020 | Not published here |
How this campaign compares
At 530 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 51% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2009 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 12 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Setra vehicles have been recalled over the structure 4 times before this, most recently in July 2020 as 20V394000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 26V176000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Daimler Coaches North America with NHTSA on June 23, 2021 as campaign 21V469000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
