Summary

Gillig LLC "Gillig" is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Low Floor vehicles manufactured September 1, 2014, to April 30, 2015. The affected vehicles may have a taillight bracket that is inadequately bonded to the bus body.

Consequence

If the bracket is inadequately bonded, it may detach from the body, preventing the stop and turn lights from being visible to following vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Gillig has notified owners. Gillig will inspect the taillight brackets to verify that they are properly bonded to the body. Brackets that are not properly bonded will be removed and properly bonded to the vehicle, free of charge. The recall began on June 12, 2015. 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.
