- The defect
- Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Low Floor transit and shuttle buses. Incompatible steering system draglink parts may have been installed during the vehicle assembly process, potentially resulting in long-term damage of the steering system.
- What it can cause
- A damaged steering system can result in a loss of vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Gillig will inspect and, when necessary, replace and tighten the draglink rod, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 29, 2023. 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 1,335 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 61% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Gillig vehicles have been recalled over the steering 8 times before this, most recently in October 2022 as 22V801000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 18 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V190000 (equipment), 26V144000 (electrical system), 26V142000 (fuel system, diesel), 25V203000 (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 February 10, 2023 as campaign 23V075000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
