ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
- The defect
- Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2014-2021 Low Floor transit buses. The rear-mounted ultracapacitors may allow the engine to be started when the master battery disconnect switch is in the "OFF" position.
- What it can cause
- The engine may be started unexpectedly, increasing the risk of injury to anyone nearby the engine compartment during maintenance operations.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the software for the buses equipped with the Vanner Ultracapacitor system, and conduct a hard rewire for the buses equipped with the KBI system, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 22, 2022. Owners may contact Gillig's customer service at 1-510-264-5073 for 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.nhtsa.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 592 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 52% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2014 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 8 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Gillig vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 6 times before this, most recently in September 2021 as 21V705000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 16 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V142000 (fuel system, diesel), 25V076000 (equipment), 24V958000 (electrical system), 23V812000 (visibility).
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 25, 2022 as campaign 22V276000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
