As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 15V888000.
Defect description
Gillig LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Low Floor vehicles manufactured November 20, 2014, to June 2, 2015. The affected vehicles may be equipped with front brake chambers with an incorrect drain hole orientation. This can allow water to build up within the brake chamber, causing corrosion, deterioration, and reduce braking ability.
Safety consequence
Corrosion, part deterioration, or frozen water in the brake chamber may reduce braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Gillig will notify owners and the brake chambers will be replaced free of charge. The recall began on March 1, 2016. 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.
