2011 GILLIG LOW FLOOR
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Gillig is recalling certain 2011 model year low floor buses manufactured between June 13, 2011, and August 12, 2011, that are equipped with TRW TC34023 steering columns with specific date codes. The steering columns have a defect in the tilt lock teeth on the support bracket that may prevent the tilt lock bar from fully engaging, which could allow the steering column to slip from its driver-set position and move upward to another tilt position.
This unintended movement of the steering column may interfere with the driver's control of the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash. Gillig will notify owners and replace the steering column free of charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Gillig Field Service at 1-800-735-1500.

GILLIG IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 LOW FLOOR BUSES MANUFACTURED FROM JUNE 13, 2011, THROUGH AUGUST 12, 2011, EQUIPPED WITH TRW TC34023 STEERING COLUMNS WITH DATE CODES STARTING 157 1 11 AND ENDING 228 1 11. THE TOOTH PROFILE AND SPACING OF THE TILT LOCK TEETH ON THE SUPPORT BRACKET MAY BE INCORRECT, PREVENTING THE TILT LOCK BAR FROM FULLY ENGAGING. THIS MAY ALLOW THE STEERING COLUMN TO SLIP FROM THE DRIVER- SET TILT LOCATION AND MOVE UPWARD UNTIL IT LOCKS IN ANOTHER TILT POSITION.
