The problem
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.
