Gillig, LLC is recalling 6 of its 2023-2024 Low Floor transit buses equipped with Michelin X InCity Grip D rear tires. The federal placard on these buses displays a Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) that may be higher than the actual load rating of the tires. Gillig will provide and replace the federal placard with the correct information free of charge.
If an operator relies on the incorrect weight rating on the placard, they may unintentionally overload the rear tires. Overloaded tires are at an increased risk of failure, which can lead to a loss of vehicle control and a crash.
Affected vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 120, 'Wheels and Rims - Other Than Passenger Cars.'
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
