On 12 April 2021, at 5:30 hours, a driver crashed into the turnstiles of FOVISSSTE station on Line 2. The station was empty and only the driver resulted injured.[15]

On 18 April 2026, a fire on the Siervo de la Nación Highway, where the service operates to reach Río de los Remedios, caused structural deformations in an overpass, leading to the indefinite closure of the highway and the suspension of service.[16] The service resumed the next day, but via an alternate route along Circuito Exterior Mexiquense instead.[17]
