NHTSA's recall notice

As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 26V144000.

Defect description

Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2023-2026 Low Floor transit buses. The high voltage cable, connecting the inverter to the drive unit, contains a splice connection that reduces the amp capacity rating.

Safety consequence

Reduced capacity may cause the cable to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.

Manufacturer remedy

Gillig will reprogram the software as an interim repair. For the final remedy, Gillig will replace the high voltage cable. Both repairs will be provided free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 27, 2026. Owners may contact Gillig's customer service at 1-800-735-1500.
