What this recall means for you
Certain 2014-2015 Gillig Low Floor buses, built between September 1, 2014 and April 30, 2015, may have a taillight bracket that is not bonded securely to the bus body. If the bracket comes loose, the stop and turn lights may not be visible to drivers behind the bus, which raises the risk of a crash.
Gillig will inspect the taillight brackets on affected buses to confirm they are properly bonded. Any bracket found not to be properly bonded will be removed and re-bonded to the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The recall began June 12, 2015.
If you own or operate one of these buses, contact Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500 to schedule the inspection and repair. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls at NHTSA's website.
