2010 GILLIG LOW FLOOR; 2011 GILLIG LOW FLOOR
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Gillig is recalling certain 2010-2011 model year lowfloor buses equipped with Cummins engines. The V-band clamp assembly that connects parts of the diesel oxidation catalyst and diesel particulate filter system contains a T-bolt that can fracture and fail under stress, causing the clamp to loosen and inlet or outlet sections to disconnect from the housing.
If these sections disconnect, hot exhaust gases can vent before exiting the tailpipe, creating a risk of combustion and fire. If both clamps fail completely, the DOC/DPF housing may detach entirely, creating a road hazard. According to the record, affected consumers should contact Cummins at 1-812-377-5000 for owner notification and remedy information.
