Plain-English summary

Daimler Coaches North America is recalling certain 2009-2020 Setra S417 and 2012-2019 Setra S407 vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the switches for hazard warning lights, defroster, heating and air conditioning, and fan speed may fail to illuminate correctly. This issue causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Control and Displays."
