Defect: Gillig, LLC. (Gillig) is recalling certain 2013-2020 hybrid and all-electric Low Floor buses equipped with a steering system that uses a high-voltage electric motor and hydraulic pump assembly to provide power steering assist.

Defect: Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Gillig Low Floor transit buses. As built, one of the emergency exit windows may not be able to be easily used in the event of an emergency. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
Consequence: An obstructed emergency exit can hinder passengers from vacating the bus in the event of an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will move one of the emergency exit windows to an unobstructed location, free of charge. The recall began February 22, 2019. Owners may contact Gillig's customer service at 1-510-264-5073 or 1-800-735-1500.

Date: 2018-11-09. Systems: PARKING BRAKE, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR.
Defect: Gillig LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2013-2018 Gillig Low Floor transit buses equipped with disk brakes. The spring cage bolts on the air brakes may not be sufficiently tightened, reducing the effectiveness of the parking brake.
Consequence: Loose cage bolts may result in the bus rolling away when in the park position or a loss of braking ability if the service brake air pressure is lost while moving. Either condition may increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the spring cage bolts, free of charge. The recall began December 10, 2018. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-510-264-5073 or 1-800-735-1500.
