The defect
Setra of North America (Setra) is recalling certain model year 2012 S407 CC, 2007-2010 S417, and 2011-2013 S417 TC coaches equipped with Sure Power battery equalizers or DC-DC converters containing a particular epoxy sealing, aka 'potting', compound. The specific potting compound used in the subject products for insulation was found to be capable of conducting electricity after being exposed to heat.
The risk
Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire.
