NHTSA Campaign 20V394000

STRUCTURE:BODY

Issued by Daimler Coaches North America · Reported Jul 3, 2020 · 58 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Daimler Coaches North America (DCNA) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Setra S407 and 2019-2020 S417 passenger coaches. The engine compartment flap may not have sufficient welding seams on the hinges, allowing the hinge connection to fail and the engine compartment flap to detach from the coach.

Consequence

If the engine compartment flap detaches from the coach while it is in motion, it can become a projectile, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

DCNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the engine compartment flap seam welds and, if necessary, re-weld or replace the engine compartment flap, free of charge. The recall began August 28, 2020. Owners may contact DCNA customer service at 1-905-403-7807. DCNA's number for this recall is 75.00U20104A. Recall 21V469 supersedes this recall.
