Plain-English summary

Setra of North America is recalling certain 2017 Setra S407CC motor coaches. The recall addresses a defect where the vehicle's exterior covers, which are bonded to powder-coated frames, may detach from the vehicle. This can occur because the powder coating may peel off of the frame.

Any panels that detach can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. The affected vehicles have not been sold to customers and are still in inventory. They will be repaired by the US importer prior to being put into service. Therefore, an owner notification letter will not be issued.
