Gillig, LLC: 2023 Low Floor Vehicles Recalled for Inadequate Axle Lubrication

Agency Publication Date: December 4, 2023

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Gillig, LLC is recalling 34 of its 2023 Low Floor vehicles because the rear axle hubs may not have enough lubricant. This inadequate lubrication can cause the rear drive axles to fail, which may lead to a total loss of vehicle control. Gillig will inspect the lubricant levels and add gear oil as necessary at no cost to owners to prevent potential accidents.

Risk

If the rear drive axles fail while the vehicle is in motion, the driver could lose control of the bus. This mechanical failure significantly increases the risk of a crash and potential injury to the driver, passengers, and others nearby.
