What is wrong
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."
What can happen
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.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
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.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
