Electrical System › Wiring › Fuses And Circuit Breakers — Gillig · reported 25 Mar 2020 · 8,224 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
Gillig LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2012-2020 Low Floor buses. The circuit breaker ratings on the DEF Line Heater circuit and the Aftertreatment-Ignition circuit may be higher than the rating for the wire and connector.
The risk
With the improper circuit breaker rating, an electrical short in either of these circuits may increase the risk of a fire.
The fix
Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will replace the circuit breakers, free of charge. The recall began April 24, 2020. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-510-264-5073 or 1-800-735-1500.
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.
