The problem

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.

The risk

A detached engine compartment flap can become a road hazard, and increase the risk of a crash.

The fix

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.
