2016–2017 Gillig LOW Floor recall: windows, wipers & mirrors
⚠️ What's wrong
Gillig LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Low Floor transit buses. The affected vehicles have wiper arms that can crack where they mount to the wiper motor causing the wiper arms to bend or detach from the vehicle.
💥 The risk
A loss of wiper function can reduce the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected wiper arms, free of charge. The recall began on March 31, 2017. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
