2013 Gillig Low Floor: Structure recall
NHTSA campaign 25V868000 · 6 units potentially affected · filed Dec 15, 2025
What's wrong
Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2013 Low Floor transit buses. The emergency exit window latch may fail, allowing the window to open during a crash. As such, these emergency exit windows fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
Why it matters
A window that opens during a crash may not properly retain passengers, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Gillig will work with Arrow to replace the emergency release bar assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 21, 2026. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500.
