Gillig, LLC "Gillig" is recalling certain model year 2007-2014 Lowfloor transit buses manufactured September 26, 2007, through January 24, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the engine oil sampling hose may leak oil due to being routed too closely to hot engine exhaust components.
If the sampling hose leaks oil in the presence of hot engine engine exhaust components, there is an increased risk of fire.
Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the oil sampling hose. If the hose is routed too closely, the hose will be removed, replaced and rerouted to provide appropriate clearance of the hot components. The recall is expected to begin in early August 2014. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
