Suspension / Rear
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Gillig LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain aftermarket rear suspension lower control rods, part number 82-74712-000. The rear suspension lower control rods may experience fatigue failure due to stiffened end bushings.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If the rear suspension lower control rod fails, the bus may have reduced handling and stability, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Gillig will notify purchasers of the aftermarket part, and provide owners with new lower control rods with different bushings, free of charge. This recall began July 6, 2020. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500.

Vehicle Speed Control / Accelerator Pedal
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Gillig LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain models of accelerator pedals sold as aftermarket parts. These pedals are labeled with Gillig part number 51-19017-016 (Williams Controls part number 351298), Gillig part number 51-19017-019 (Williams Controls part number 351571) or Gillig part number 45-35027-000 (Williams Controls part number 351298). The mechanical springs used to return the accelerator pedal to idle after the driver lifts their foot off the pedal may break.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If the springs break, the pedal may not return to idle once the driver lifts their foot off the pedal. This unintended acceleration increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Gillig LLC will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected pedals with entire pedal assembly, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in June 2014. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-510-785-1500.
