The 1995 Geo Metro has 1 NHTSA recall campaign affecting an estimated 435 vehicles. Recall repairs are always free at any authorized dealer. Owners have filed 132 complaints with NHTSA, most often about the air bags. Last updated July 5, 2026.
THE REAR BRAKE DRUMS WERE NOT CORRECTLY MACHINED. AS THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN, LOSS OF WHEEL CLAMP LOAD CAN RESULT FROM THIS CONDITION. ONCE CLAMP LOAD IS LOST, ALL TIRE LOADS ARE DIRECTLY TAKEN BY THE WHEEL STUDS. THIS LOADING CAN CAUSE FATIGUE FAILURE OF THE WHEEL STUDS.
IF THIS OCCURS, A WHEEL COULD SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE, AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
REPLACE REAR BRAKE DRUMS.
