Defect

The correct brightness should provide at least two levels of brightness and be adjustable.
Safety risk
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.
