POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
- The defect
- Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Low Floor transit buses. The driveshaft fasteners may have been improperly tightened after service repairs, allowing the driveshaft to detach.
- What it can cause
- A detached driveshaft can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Gillig will replace the driveshaft straps and fasteners, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 9, 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 223 vehicles this is a small campaign: 60% of the 17,128 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 478. 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 power train 2 times before this, most recently in September 2018 as 18V665000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 19 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V707000 (fuel system, diesel), 26V190000 (equipment), 26V144000 (electrical system), 26V142000 (fuel system, diesel).
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 September 14, 2023 as campaign 23V635000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
