2024 Gillig Low Floor

Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.
0
Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

6 units potentially affected
The defect: Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Low Floor transit buses equipped with Michelin X InCity Grip D rear tires. The rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) on the federal placard may exceed the tire load rating. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 120, "Wheels and Rims - Other Than Passenger Cars."
The risk: Referencing an incorrect GAWR can lead to unintentionally overloading the rear tires, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy: Gillig will replace the federal placard, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed April 24, 2026. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500.

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

SD Version 1

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Gillig Hybrid Electric vehicles that utilize "Depot" mode or Geofencing are not accumulating electric only odometer mileage. Some Gillig Hybrid electric vehicles were built using a speedometer that does not correctly accumulate odometer mileage when the vehicle is driving in electric only mode (engine not running).

FSC 24-02-6055

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Allison Transmission equipped buses were built without a pressure regulator at the Solenoid inlet to the transmission retarder accumulator air inlet. This bulletin provides retrofit instructions for installing a pressure regulator to remedy leaks at the solenoid air exhaust.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
