2016 GILLIG LOW FLOOR; 2015 GILLIG LOW FLOOR
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Gillig LLC is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Low Floor compressed natural gas (CNG) transit buses manufactured between September 1, 2015, and December 5, 2016, that are equipped with Amerex SafetyNet fire suppression system panel/controller units. The gas detection electronics in these buses may become disabled without alerting the driver, preventing the operator from receiving a fault code indicating a system malfunction. This defect could increase the risk of asphyxiation, fire, or explosion if a natural gas leak occurs and goes undetected.
Gillig is notifying affected bus owners and will provide free replacement of the Operator Display Panel/Controllers through Amerex representatives. The recall process began on January 20, 2017. Owners of affected buses should contact Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500 to arrange the replacement.

If not corrected, the fire suppression systems on certain CNG-powered buses may fail to indicate the presence of a natural gas (methane) leak. In such cases, the driver will not receive a fault code indicating that the Gas Detection electronics have been disabled. This may increase the risk of asphyxiation, fire, or explosion.
Gillig will notify owners, and Amerex representatives will replace the Operator Display Panel/Controllers, free of charge. The recall began January 20, 2017. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500.
