Issued by Gillig, LLC · Reported Mar 12, 2026 · 424 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2023-2026 Low Floor transit buses. The high voltage cable, connecting the inverter to the drive unit, contains a splice connection that reduces the amp capacity rating.

Consequence

Reduced capacity may cause the cable to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy

Gillig will reprogram the software as an interim repair. For the final remedy, Gillig will replace the high voltage cable. Both repairs will be provided free of charge. Interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk were mailed April 14, 2026. Another notice will be sent once the final remedy becomes available. Owners may contact Gillig's customer service at 1-800-735-1500.
