Setra engine compartment flap may not have sufficient welding seams on the hinges, allowing the hinge connection to fail and the engine compartment flap to detach from the coach.
The short version
Daimler Coaches North America reported a problem with the hood hinge and attachments. Here is what owners need to know.
The engine compartment flap may not have sufficient welding seams on the hinges, allowing the hinge connection to fail and the engine compartment flap to detach from the coach.
If the engine compartment flap detaches from the coach while it is in motion, it can become a projectile, increasing the risk of a crash.
DCNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the engine compartment flap seam welds and, if necessary, re-weld or replace the engine compartment flap, free of charge.
