2007 Gillig LOW Floor recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Gillig is recalling 31 my 2007 29 foot LOW Floor transit buses equipped with saf- holland adl series rear suspensions. In some instances the transverse beam was not properly welded which could result in a failure of the weld.
💥 The risk
If the weld fails, vehicle stability while cornering could be affected resulting in loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in a crash. In addition, the transverse beam could drop to the ground causing sparks that could cause a fire hazard.
🔧 The fix
Gillig is working with saf holland to have a visual inspection of the adl transverse beam performed. If a weld defect is identified, saf holland will provide a service replacement kit that contains a new transverse beam, all necessary installation hardware, beam replacement and instructions free of charge (please see 08E031). The recall began on april 29, 2008. Owners may contact gillig at 1-510-264-5031 or saf-holland at 1-231-773-3271.
