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: 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.
