Consequence: The reduced visibility of the turn signals can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will update the software that controls the turn flash rate, free of charge. The recall began on August 2, 2018. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-510-264-5073 or 1-800-735-1500.
