NHTSA Campaign 12V547000

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR

Issued by SETRA OF NORTH AMERICA · Reported Nov 23, 2012 · 198 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Setra is recalling certain model year 2009-2013 S417, S417TC, and S407CC motorcoaches, manufactured from May 2009 through June 2012. An incorrect routing of the ground wire near the alternator may lead to the chaffing and abrasion of the wire.

Consequence

A damaged alternator ground wire could result in a short circuit and may lead to a vehicle fire.

Remedy

Setra's designated importer, Motor Coach Industries (MCI), will be conducting this recall. MCI will notify owners and will reroute the wiring free of charge. The safety recall began on December 14, 2012. Owners may contact Motor Coach Industries at 1-502-318-3077.
