Electrical system

What is wrong
Certain motor coaches fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 101, "controls and displays." the illumination of the controls for the hazard warning signal, heating/air-conditioning fan, and windshield defrosting and defogging system has only one level of brightness and is not adjustable. The correct brightness should provide at least two levels of brightness and be adjustable.
Risk
If this were to occur during a night-time situation this could cause the driver not to be able to see the controls and displays and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Setra technicians will go to customer locations and replace the control switch. This recall began april 6, 2004, with phased completion dates. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact setra at 1‑800‑882‑8054.
