Gillig recall: Structure
What is wrong
Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2020-2021 29, 35, 40-foot Low Floor and BRT buses powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). The overlap between the curb side and street side roof doors is insufficient and may allow the street side door to accidentally open.
What could happen
An open door may strike another vehicle or structure, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will install a new locking plate, overlap bracket, and mounting hardware, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 14, 2021. Owner may contact Gillig customer service at 1-510-264-5073 or 1-800-735-1500.
