Defect Description

Setra of North America (Setra) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 S417TC buses manufactured August 2, 2010, to October 3, 2011, and 2012 Setra S407CC buses manufactured August 2, 2010, to July 4, 2011, and equipped with certain Recaro Ergo-M Commercial Bus Driver Seats. The affected seats have J-Brackets that may be missing welds which could allow the seat belt anchorage assembly to separate from the J-Bracket.

Safety Consequence

If the seatbelt anchorage assembly separates from the J-Bracket, the bus driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash increasing their risk of injury.

Remedy

Setra will notify owners, and the seats will be inspected to determine if any welds are missing. Any J-Bracket that is missing welds will be removed and replaced, free of charge. The recall began on February 24, 2016. Owners may contact Setra customer service at 1-800-241-2947 or Recaro customer service at 1-248-484-3203. Setra's number for this recall is 91.10U10086A.
