- The problem
- On certain motor coaches, the electrical wiring harness located behind the rear toilet was not properly installed. As a result, rubbing can occur on the outside wire insulation causing the insulation to wear away and eventually cause subsequent arcing.
- The risk
- This could lead to a short circuit and possibly a subsequent fire.
- The fix
- Dealers will check the wiring harness routing and will change the damaged wires. In addition the wiring harness will be relocated in such a way as to prevent rubbing. The recall began on may 18, 2007. Owners may contact setra at 1-800-882-8054.

Electrical recalls for the 2003 Setra S417
- The problem
- On certain motor coaches, the electrical wire preparation for the control of solar roof hatches was not carried out properly. This wiring may contain open energized wire ends located in the harness.
- The risk
- If the open wire ends come into contact with parts of the frame, it may be possible for a short circuit to occur and then a subsequent fire.
- The fix
- Dealers will send out technicians to disconnect the power to the wires and reroute the wires properly free of charge. The recall began on may 18, 2007. Owners may contact setra at 1-800-882-8054.
- The problem
- 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.
- The 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.
- The fix
- 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.
