ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:RELAYS/SOLENOIDS
- The defect
- Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Low Floor style transit buses. The fire suppression relay cable may be damaged, chafing against the mounting bolt, and fail.
- What it can cause
- Failure of the fire suppression system can increase the risk of injury during a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the relay cable, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 31, 2024. Owners may contact GILLIG customer service at 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 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.
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 201 vehicles this is a small campaign: 61% of the 18,339 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 471. It covers model years 2021 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Gillig vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 11 times before this, most recently in December 2024 as 24V921000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 25 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 December 20, 2024 as campaign 24V958000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
