- The problem
- Setra of North America (Setra) is recalling certain model year 2012 S407 CC, 2007-2010 S417, and 2011-2013 S417 TC coaches equipped with Sure Power battery equalizers or DC-DC converters containing a particular epoxy sealing, aka 'potting', compound. The specific potting compound used in the subject products for insulation was found to be capable of conducting electricity after being exposed to heat.
- The risk
- Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire.
- The fix
- Motor Coach Industries (MCI), Setra's importer and designated agent for sales, service and warranty, will notify owners, and Sure Power will replace the equalizers or converters, free of charge. The recall began on December 19, 2013. Owners may contact MCI at 1-866-624-2622 or Setra Customer Service Line at 1-800-241-2947. Setra's recall number is 54.10U09052A.

Electrical recalls for the 2007 Setra S417
- 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.
- 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.
