Setra Recalls S417 Motor Coaches for Missing Partition Glass Markings

Setra is recalling 97 S417 and S417 TC motor coaches because the partition glass behind the driver lacks required DOT markings.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a documentation and labeling deficiency (missing DOT markings) rather than a functional defect or reported injury, fitting the criteria for cosmetic or documentation issues.

Plain-English summary

Setra of North America is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 S417 and model year 2011 S417 TC motor coaches. The recall involves 97 vehicles in total.
