2014–2021 Gillig Low Floor: Electrical System recall
NHTSA campaign 22V276000 · 592 units potentially affected · filed Apr 25, 2022
What's wrong
Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2014-2021 Low Floor transit buses. The rear-mounted ultracapacitors may allow the engine to be started when the master battery disconnect switch is in the "OFF" position.
Why it matters
The engine may be started unexpectedly, increasing the risk of injury to anyone nearby the engine compartment during maintenance operations.
The fix
Dealers will update the software for the buses equipped with the Vanner Ultracapacitor system, and conduct a hard rewire for the buses equipped with the KBI system, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 22, 2022. Owners may contact Gillig's customer service at 1-510-264-5073 for 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.nhtsa.gov.
