Summary: Certain motor coaches fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 101, "controls and displays." the illumination of the controls for the hazard warning signal, heating/air-conditioning fan, and windshield defrosting and defogging system has only one level of brightness and is not adjustable. The correct brightness should provide at least two levels of brightness and be adjustable.
Consequence: If this were to occur during a night-time situation this could cause the driver not to be able to see the controls and displays and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Setra technicians will go to customer locations and replace the control switch. This recall began April 6, 2004, with phased completion dates. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact setra at 1-800-882-8054.
Notes: Customers can contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Has your Setra been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Setra dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
