What's wrong?
The exterior covers on the 2017 Setra S407 Cc are body panels mounted to frames on the outside of the motor coach. They protect equipment and keep the coach exterior secure while the vehicle is moving. Those covers are bonded to frames with a powder coating, a baked-on finish that has to stay stuck to the metal beneath it.
On affected coaches, the powder coating on the cover frames did not adhere correctly because of a process deviation during coating. The bond can separate from the frame as the coating peels. Once that happens, pieces of an exterior cover can loosen and fall from the coach, creating a hazard for nearby traffic. The recall traces the problem to exterior covers produced during the affected coating period.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner or driver should not rely on noise, vibration, or a visible gap to appear before the cover separates.

What should I do?

- Contact Setra customer service at 1-800-241-2947 to confirm whether the coach was repaired before it entered service.
- Reference recall number 17V329 and Setra recall 98.10M10519A when you call.

- Schedule Setra's exterior-cover bonding repair if the VIN is included and the repair is still open.
What happens at the repair
The affected 2017 Setra S407 Cc motor coaches were still in inventory when the recall was filed, so Setra says the U.S. importer repairs them before they enter service. The work addresses exterior covers bonded to powder coated frames that can detach if the powder coating peels from the frame. Because the vehicles were not sold to customers, Setra did not issue an owner notification letter. For an included vehicle, Setra customer service can confirm recall 98.10M10519A and the importer's repair status.
