Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Gillig LLC is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Lowfloor transit buses manufactured between October 15, 2012, and March 26, 2014. These buses have electrical harnesses with overmolded J1939 connectors and non-insulated drain wires that lack heat shrink tubing. The harnesses may not adequately resist water or corrosive chemicals from entering the connectors, which can cause terminal corrosion.
If the terminals corrode, the electrical connection may become intermittent and disrupt or lose J1939 communication, potentially causing interruptions in the engine, transmission, ABS, and body controllers. This increases the risk of a crash. To remedy the issue, Gillig dealers will replace the overmold connector and install heat shrink tubing on the connector/cable junction at no charge. Affected owners should contact Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500.
