- The defect
- Gillig, LLC. (Gillig) is recalling certain 2017-2020 Low Floor vehicles. The sealing washer may not seat correctly in the pilot bore holes, allowing the high pressure fuel rail assembly to leak.
- What it can cause
- A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Gillig will inspect the rail threads, and replace the rail as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 27, 2021. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-510-264-5073 or 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 4,428 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 73% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2017 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Gillig vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, diesel 2 times before this, most recently in August 2014 as 14V521000. 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 May 14, 2021 as campaign 21V352000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
