Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Gillig, LLC is recalling 388 of its 2022 Low Floor transit buses because a part of the steering assembly can become damaged. The steering shaft grease fitting may rub against and damage the protective shroud, which can cause the steering to stick. Gillig will install a new low-profile grease fitting and a spacer shim to fix the issue at no cost to owners.

Risk

If the grease fitting makes contact with the shroud, it can cause the steering shaft to stick or bind, leading to a sudden loss of steering control and increasing the risk of a crash.
