| Description |
Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Low Floor transit buses manufactured July 25, 2013, to June 17, 2014. The affected vehicles may have been produced without a quick release valve for the rear brakes on buses built with rear disc brakes. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 121, "Air Brake Systems." |
| Consequences |
If the bus's anti-lock brake system was non-functioning and the bus experienced a significant braking event that when combined with the road conditions may lock the rear brakes, then a delay in brake release timing could result in a lock up of the rear wheels, increasing the risk of crash. |
| Corrective action |
Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will install a quick release valve, free of charge. The recall began on September 15, 2014. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500. |
| Notes |
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. |
