STEERING
- The defect
- Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2022 Low Floor transit buses. The steering shaft grease fitting may contact and damage the protective shroud.
- What it can cause
- Contact between the steering shaft grease fitting and shroud can result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Gillig will install a low-profile grease fitting and spacer shim, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 1, 2022. 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.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 388 vehicles this is a small campaign: 52% 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 one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Gillig vehicles have been recalled over the steering 7 times before this, most recently in July 2020 as 20V392000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 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 October 24, 2022 as campaign 22V801000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
