- The defect
- Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2019-2023 Low Floor transit buses. The transmission yoke may separate, resulting in driveshaft separation and a sudden loss of drive power.
- What it can cause
- A sudden loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a disabled bus may require an evacuation procedure in an uncontrolled traffic situation, increasing the risk of injury to passengers.
- What the dealer does
- Gillig will work with the equipment manufacturer, Allison Transmission Inc., to inspect and tighten the transmission yoke bolts, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 11, 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 4,286 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 2019 to 2023, 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 power train 3 times before this, most recently in September 2023 as 23V635000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 28 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 November 3, 2023 as campaign 23V740000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
