Defect. Metro Worldwide LLC (Metro Worldwide) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Metro Link 28WC and 28SH transit buses. In certain configurations, if the bus is fully loaded, the vehicle may exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) capacity. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

Risk. Being overloaded can cause a loss of vehicle control, premature tire wear, or failure of suspension and braking systems, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Metro Worldwide will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles, removing a seat as necessary to get the vehicles within the GVWR and GAWR requirements, free of charge. The recall began on September 15, 2017. Owners may contact Metro Worldwide customer service at 1-641-903-7369.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
