The problem
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 fix
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.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
