Summary

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."

Consequence

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.

Remedy

Gillig will install a new speedometer gauge, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed January 15, 2025. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500 or 1-510-264-5073.
