Gillig, LLC: Low Floor Transit Buses Recalled for Driveshaft Separation Risk

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Gillig, LLC is recalling 4,286 Low Floor transit buses from model years 2019 through 2023. The transmission yoke on these buses may separate, which can cause the driveshaft to disconnect and lead to a sudden loss of drive power while the vehicle is in motion. To address this safety concern, Gillig will work with Allison Transmission Inc. to inspect and tighten the transmission yoke bolts free of charge.

Risk

A sudden loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash. Additionally, if a bus becomes disabled in an uncontrolled traffic situation, passengers may need to evacuate, which increases the risk of injury.
