GILLIG LOW FLOOR

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:TV/RADIO/SPEAKERS

Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2019-2024 Low Floor transit buses. The rivet-nut fasteners that secure the TFT flat panel display monitor to the bus ceiling may fail, causing the monitor to detach and fall.

Risk: A monitor that detaches and falls from the ceiling increases the risk of injury.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM:TRACTION BATTERY

Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Low Floor transit buses. The high voltage batteries may have loose hardware that can fall inside the battery pack and create a short circuit.

Risk: A short circuit increases the risk of a fire. In addition, the battery contactors may open suddenly and cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2023 Low Floor buses equipped with Cummins L9 diesel engines with part number D563027BX03. Insufficient crimping may allow the remote fuel filter hoses to disconnect and leak, decreasing fuel supply to the engine.

Risk: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. Additionally, a lack of fuel can cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:INTERLOCK/LOCKOUT

Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Low Floor style transit buses. The high voltage electric air compressor may not be connected to the High Voltage Interlock Loop (HVIL). Therefore, the HVIL cannot detect a loose or disconnected compressor power cable.

Risk: Failure to alert the operator to a power cable issue can increase the risk of injury by electrical shock.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER

Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2024 Low Floor buses. A defective welded joint may cause the wiper arm to suddenly fail. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 104, "Windshield Wiping and Washing Systems."

Risk: Inoperative wipers can reduce the driver's ability to see out of the windshield, increasing the risk of a crash.

STEERING:CRITICAL FASTENERS

Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Low Floor transit buses. The steering spline shaft fasteners may have been improperly tightened, allowing the steering spline shaft to loosen.

Risk: A loose steering shaft can cause a complete loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:RELAYS/SOLENOIDS

Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Low Floor style transit buses. The fire suppression relay cable may be damaged, chafing against the mounting bolt, and fail.

Risk: Failure of the fire suppression system can increase the risk of injury during a fire.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:INSTRUMENT PANEL:SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER

Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2023 Low Floor diesel-hybrid transit buses. During vehicle operations in full electric vehicle (EV) mode, the odometer will not display accumulated mileage. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Controls and Displays."

Risk: A missing odometer reading could lead to an unintended delay in critical safety-related maintenance, potentially impairing the safe operation of the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS

Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2021-2023 Low Floor vehicles. The rearview mirror electric adjustment system may have been manufactured with an incorrect fuse.

Risk: An incorrect fuse may overheat and increase the risk of a fire.
