NHTSA's recall notice
As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 14V547000.
Defect description
Gillig LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain model year 2014 Lowfloor transit buses manufactured January 2, 2014, to March 6, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the air brake system supply lines from the primary and secondary air tanks to the brake valves may have been crossed at the bulkhead during assembly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Safety consequence
If the primary and secondary air brake supply lines from the tanks to the brake valve are crossed and the vehicle loses pressure in the primary tank, the vehicle service brake system performance may be reduced. In the case of a total loss of primary tank air pressure, the service brake system will not function. If the service brake system does not function or performance is reduced, an application of the brake pedal by the vehicle operator may not slow or stop the vehicle as expected, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will correct the installation of the primary and secondary brake supply lines, free of charge. The recall began on October 17, 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.
