2023–2026 Gillig Low Floor: Electrical System recall
NHTSA campaign 26V144000 · 424 units potentially affected · filed Mar 12, 2026
What's wrong
Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2023-2026 Low Floor transit buses. The high voltage cable, connecting the inverter to the drive unit, contains a splice connection that reduces the amp capacity rating.
Why it matters
Reduced capacity may cause the cable to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix
Gillig will reprogram the software as an interim repair. For the final remedy, Gillig will replace the high voltage cable. Both repairs will be provided free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 27, 2026. Owners may contact Gillig's customer service at 1-800-735-1500.
