- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 20V406000
- Manufacturer's number: 43.54U20107A
- Manufacturer: Daimler Coaches North America
- Reported: 2020\-07\-14
- Owners notified: 2020\-09\-07
- Component: ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL \(ESC\)
- Units potentially affected: 64

## What is wrong

Daimler Coaches North America \(DCNA\) is recalling certain 2018\-2019 Setra S407 and 2019\-2020 Setra S417TC motorcoaches.  These vehicles are equipped with a driver\-selected Electronic Stability Control \(ESC\) "OFF" switch for disabling the traction control portion of ESC, allowing it to remain disabled at speeds above 20 km/h.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 136, "Electronic Stability Control."


## What can happen

If the vehicle is operated above 20 km/h while the Electronic Stability Control system is disabled, there is a greater chance of loss of stability control, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

DCNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the "ESC OFF" switch with a new "TC\-Off" button, install an indicator light on the dashboard to indicate when the traction control is deactivated, and perform a software to prevent the ESC system from being disabled, update free of charge.  This recall began September 7, 2020.  Owners may contact DCNA customer service at 1\-800\-206\-9728.  DCNA's number for this recall is 43.54U20107A.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
