Fuel leak near engine can cause fire
Certain 2020-2021 Gillig Low Floor buses with Cummins L9 diesel engines may have a fuel hose between the fuel pump and the remote fuel filter head that can leak.
Excess ammonia in exhaust can increase injury risk

Rear axle may misalign, risking loss of bus control
Certain 2020 and 2021 Gillig Low Floor buses, including diesel, CNG, and battery electric models, may have a rear axle that comes out of alignment during operation.
Fuel leak from rail can cause fire risk
The sealing washer on the high pressure fuel rail assembly may not seat correctly in the pilot bore holes, which can allow fuel to leak from the rail.
