EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL
Issued by Gillig LLC · Reported Feb 24, 2017 · 17,056 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Gillig LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain model year 1997-2017 Low Floor transit buses. The front turn signals installed on standard profile (non-BRT) buses may not be sufficiently visible to other drivers or pedestrians. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Consequence
The reduced visibility of the turn signals may increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will install turn signals that have increased visibility. The recall began June 7, 2019. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-510-264-5073 or 1-800-735-1500.
