The problem
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.
The risk
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.
The fix
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.

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.safercar.gov.
