ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
The driver may be distracted by switches that are too bright or by searching for switches that are too dim or not illuminated, increasing the risk of a crash.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
The driver may be distracted by switches that are too bright or by searching for switches that are too dim or not illuminated, increasing the risk of a crash.
A detached engine compartment flap can become a road hazard, and increase the risk of a crash.
If the doorway strip does not function properly, there is an increased risk of a pinch injury.
Should the tube crack and separate from the shaft of the vehicle, loss of vehicle control is possible, increasing the risk of a crash.
Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire.
A damaged alternator ground wire could result in a short circuit and may lead to a vehicle fire.
Two 2009 SETRA S417s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
