Defect
Setra Luxury Coaches is recalling certain model year 2013 S417TC buses manufactured in April and May 2013. The bolted joint at the lower control arm in the rear axle could loosen due to a change in the manufacturing tightening method.
Safety risk
If the control arm loosens, it could reduce the driver's ability to control the direction of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Motor Coach Industries (MCI), the designated importer, will notify customers and will retorque the bolted connection. This service will be completed at no cost to the customer. The recall began on September 4, 2013. Owners may contact MCI at 1-866-624-2622 or Setra Customer Service Line at 1-800-241-2947. Setra's campaign number is 32.00U08919A.
