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.\"","consequence":"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.","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.","mfr_campaign":"43.54U20107A","part_number":null,"units":64,"completion":{"kind":"annual","report_number":3,"period_from":"2024-3","period_to":"2025-2","submitted":"2025-07-07","involved":64,"remedied":42,"unreachable":0,"removed":0,"remedied_percent":65,"as_of":"2026-10-19"},"do_not_drive":false,"park_outside":false,"notification":null,"french":null,"vehicles":[{"year":2018,"make":"SETRA","model":"S407 CC","vehicle_id":"2018_setra_s-407-cc","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2019,"make":"SETRA","model":"S407 CC","vehicle_id":"2019_setra_s-407-cc","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2019,"make":"SETRA","model":"S417 TC","vehicle_id":"2019_setra_s-417-tc","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2020,"make":"SETRA","model":"S417 TC","vehicle_id":"2020_setra_s-417-tc","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":[],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/nhtsa/20V406000"}
