Setra S407 and S417 Wheelchair Lift Beacon Recall

Daimler Coaches is recalling 2011-2016 Setra coaches because wheelchair lift warning beacons may be too dim, increasing injury risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the defect increases the risk of injury to wheelchair lift users, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Daimler Coaches North America is recalling certain 2011-2016 Setra S417 TC and 2012-2016 Setra S 407 CC vehicles equipped with a Ricon wheelchair lift. The red beacon lighting on the Threshold Warning System (TWS) may not be bright enough, causing the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 403, "Platform Lift Systems."

Beacons that do not provide proper illumination may be less visible to wheelchair lift users, increasing the risk of injury. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.

Daimler Coaches will replace the TWS kits free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 23, 2024. Owners may contact Daimler Coaches at 1-416-624-3558 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
