Winnebago Industries, Inc: Seats
Winnebago Industries, Inc reported this defect to federal regulators on Jun 10, 2015 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 48. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Metro Link transit buses manufactured December 20, 2013, to April 9, 2015. The affected buses may have been built without shims and flat washers on the seat pedestal, allowing the seat to detach from the floor in the event of a crash.
The risk
If the seat detaches from the floor during a vehicle crash, the seat occupant would be at an increased risk of personal injury.
The remedy
Winnebago will work with Metro Worldwide, the transit bus distributor, to notify owners and remedy the vehicles, free of charge. The recall began on August 28, 2015. Owners may contact Metro Worldwide customer service at 1-641-903-7377. Winnebago's number for this recall is 132.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 15V363000.
