2023 GILLIG LOW FLOORNHTSA Campaign #26V144000
Defect
Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2023-2026 Low Floor transit buses. The high voltage cable, connecting the inverter to the drive unit, contains a splice connection that reduces the amp capacity rating.
Safety Risk
Reduced capacity may cause the cable to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
Remedy
Gillig will reprogram the software as an interim repair. For the final remedy, Gillig will replace the high voltage cable. Both repairs will be provided free of charge. Interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk are expected to be mailed April 1, 2026. Another notice will be sent once the final remedy becomes available. Owners may contact Gillig's customer service at 1-800-735-1500.
