Gillig LLC "Gillig" is recalling certain 2016-2017 Low Floor transit buses. The affected vehicles have wiper arms that can crack where they mount to the wiper motor causing the wiper arms to bend or detach from the vehicle.
A loss of wiper function can reduce the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected wiper arms, free of charge. The recall began on March 31, 2017. 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.
