EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL
Issued by Gillig LLC · Reported Jun 20, 2018 · 25,579 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Gillig LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2001-2018 Gillig Low Floor transit buses. The turn signals may flash slowly, reducing their visibility to other drivers. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Consequence
The reduced visibility of the turn signals can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will update the software that controls the turn flash rate, free of charge. The recall began on August 2, 2018. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-510-264-5073 or 1-800-735-1500.
