POWER TRAIN:AXLE HUBS
- The defect
- Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2023 Low Floor vehicles. An inadequate amount of lubricant in the rear axle hubs may cause failure of the rear drive axles.
- What it can cause
- Rear drive axle failure can result in a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Gillig will inspect for correct rear axle hub lubricant levels and add lubricant and gear oil as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 12, 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 34 vehicles this is a small campaign: 82% 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, 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Gillig vehicles have been recalled over the power train 4 times before this, most recently in November 2023 as 23V740000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 14 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 December 4, 2023 as campaign 23V809000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
