Recall 26V144000

Electrical System › Propulsion System › Cables — Gillig · reported 12 Mar 2026 · 424 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

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.

The risk

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

The fix

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.
