Dear Setra Owner,

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act and the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Setra has decided that a defect (details below) which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2006~2010 S417 vehicles. Setra therefore has initiated a recall of these vehicles.  Our records indicate that your vehicle is included in this group.

The anti-entrapment strip of the pneumatic outward swiveling entry door may not function after door actuation. If the door does not function as intended, it can increase the risk of injury.

Setra will remedy this by the retrofitting, free of charge, of a bridging cable to the door control unit to avoid the possible deactivation of the anti-entrapment feature. Details are outlined in the repair procedure number TI 72.40M10699A. Please allow for one (1) hour to schedule and complete the repair.
