2014 GILLIG LOW FLOOR
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Gillig LLC is recalling certain 2014 Lowfloor transit buses manufactured between January 2, 2014, and March 6, 2014. In these vehicles, the air brake system supply lines from the primary and secondary air tanks to the brake valves may have been crossed during assembly. If the primary tank loses air pressure, this installation error could reduce brake system performance or cause the service brakes to stop functioning entirely.
If the service brake system fails or performs poorly, the vehicle operator may be unable to slow or stop the vehicle as expected, increasing the crash risk. According to the recall, Gillig will notify owners and dealers will correct the brake line installation at no charge. The recall began on October 17, 2014. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500.

If the primary and secondary air brake supply lines from the tanks to the brake valve are crossed and the vehicle loses pressure in the primary tank, the vehicle service brake system performance may be reduced. In the case of a total loss of primary tank air pressure, the service brake system will not function. If the service brake system does not function or performance is reduced, an application of the brake pedal by the vehicle operator may not slow or stop the vehicle as expected, increasing the risk of a crash.
Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will correct the installation of the primary and secondary brake supply lines, free of charge. The recall began on October 17, 2014. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500.
