The defect

The remedy
The affected vehicles have not been sold to customers and are still in inventory. They will be repaired by the US importer, prior to being put into service. Therefore, an owner notification letter will not be issued. Owners may contact Setra customer service at 1-800-241-2947. Setra's number for this recall is 98.10M10519A.
