What this recall means for you
Certain Setra S417 and S407 coaches have switches for the hazard warning lights, defroster, heating and air conditioning, and fan speed that may not illuminate correctly. Switches that are too bright can distract the driver, while switches that are too dim or unlit make them harder to find and use, which can increase the risk of a crash. The vehicles also fail to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 101 for control and displays.
