FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICES
- The defect
- Gillig LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Low Floor transit buses powered by compressed natural gas (CNG). The thermally activated pressure relief device (PRD) installed on the CNG fuel system may not vent the system when exposed to heat, potentially resulting in the system rupturing.
- What it can cause
- If the fuel system ruptures from exposure to heat, there may be an increased risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Gillig will work with Agility to notify customers and replace the PRDs, free of charge. The recall began May 15, 2020. Owners may contact Agility customer service at 1-949-267-7745 or Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 275 vehicles this is a small campaign: 56% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Gillig vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, other 3 times before this, most recently in December 2016 as 16V931000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 13 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V076000 (equipment), 23V740000 (power train), 22V548000 (electrical system), 22V436000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Gillig LLC with NHTSA on April 29, 2020 as campaign 20V239000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
