Descriptive Information : The recall population was based on manufacturing records. The VIN range reflects all possible vehicles that could potentially experience the problem.
Production Dates : NOV 01, 2011 – MAR 31, 2016 VIN Range 1 : Begin : WKKA40PH4C3050058 End : WKKA40XH9G3050112 ✔ Not sequential Description of Defect :
Description of the Defect : As per Ricon equipment recall 23E-091: The Threshold Warning Kit uses an assembly that contains two beacons, one that mounts directly above the doorway where the lift operates and one that is mounted at the discretion of the vehicle manufacturer and serves as a supplemental beacon to enhance the visibility of the platform. The kit also uses a compliant audible warning signal. The light intensity of the red beacons in this kit does not comply with the minimum light requirement of 20 candelas as specified in FMVSS 403, section
S6.1.4. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 24V-277 Page 2 FMVSS 1 : NR
FMVSS 2 : 403 – Platform lift systems
Description of the Safety Risk : As per Ricon equipment recall 23E-091: While the beacons used in the
Threshold Warning System Kit illuminate as designed and the audible warning signal operates as required, a warning beacon light that displays below the minimum level of candelas may be less visible to users located near an out of position platform lift and may increase the risk of injury.
Description of the Cause : As per Ricon equipment recall 23E-091: The cause is the wattage rating of the bulbs not being sufficient enough to produce the minimum light intensity of 20 candela specified in FMVSS 403, section S6.1.4 Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur : An audible warning occurs while beacon is flashing to alert lift operator and occupant. Involved Components : Component Name 1 : Light Assy, Threshold Warning System Component Description : Light, Red, 24V Rectangular, Two Bulb Component Part Number : Ricon PN R132853; Peterson PN M138R-24V Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer
Name : Ricon Corporation Address : 1135 Aviation Place

January 8, 2024: Ricon informed Daimler Coaches North America about the defect; February – April 2024: Daimler Buses conducted investigation of the affected vehicles in which the lift had been installed; April 15, 2024: Daimler Buses GmbH determined a safety recall regarding this issue affecting certain Setra coaches.

Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : The Threshold Warning System will be replaced with a kit that
incorporates a beacon that will meet the light intensity requirements. If any Setra operator/owner has already paid to remedy this issue, reimbursement will be available through the DCNA warranty system as outlined in the customer notification letter. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component :
Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : New Threshold Warning System kits will incorporate a new red beacon. No change in production. The lift was installed by DCNA after the vehicles had been transported to the US and before the delivery to the customer.
The affected vehicle models are no longer produced. Recall Schedule :
Description of Recall Schedule : Daimler Coaches North America (DCNA) does not operate via a
traditional “dealer” network. Dates noted are to satisfy the recall portal. Noted dates (or before) are when DCNA customers/fleet operators will be notified of affected vehicles in their fleet(s).
Planned Dealer Notification Date : JUN 07, 2024 – JUN 07, 2024
