As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 15V295000.
Defect description
Gillig LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Low Floor vehicles manufactured September 1, 2014, to April 30, 2015. The affected vehicles may have a taillight bracket that is inadequately bonded to the bus body.
Safety consequence
If the bracket is inadequately bonded, it may detach from the body, preventing the stop and turn lights from being visible to following vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Gillig has notified owners. Gillig will inspect the taillight brackets to verify that they are properly bonded to the body. Brackets that are not properly bonded will be removed and properly bonded to the vehicle, free of charge. The recall began on June 12, 2015. 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.
