2009–2020 Setra S407, Setra S417: Electrical System recall
NHTSA campaign 26V176000 · 511 units potentially affected · filed Mar 23, 2026
What's wrong
Daimler Coaches North America (Daimler Coaches) is recalling certain 2009-2020 Setra S417 and 2012-2019 Setra S407 vehicles. The switches for the hazard warning lights, defroster, heating and air conditioning system, and fan speed may fail to illuminate correctly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Control and Displays."
Why it matters
The driver may be distracted by switches that are too bright or by searching for switches that are too dim or not illuminated, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Daimler Coaches will repair the hazard warning lights switch, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 11, 2026. Owners may contact Daimler Coaches' customer service at 1-416-624-3558.
