Summary
Winnebago Industries, Inc (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2015 BUS28WC and BUS28SH transit buses.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Consequence
Overloading of the transit bus may result in a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will reduce the seating capacity of the bus, free of charge. The recall began on September 13, 2017. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-3535.
