The defect

Gillig LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2012-2020 Low Floor buses. The circuit breaker ratings on the DEF Line Heater circuit and the Aftertreatment-Ignition circuit may be higher than the rating for the wire and connector.

The risk

With the improper circuit breaker rating, an electrical short in either of these circuits may increase the risk of a fire.

Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will replace the circuit breakers, free of charge. The recall began April 24, 2020. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-510-264-5073 or 1-800-735-1500.

What this page is, and what to do next

A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.

This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 20V179000.
