2018–2020 Gillig LOW Floor recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
Gillig LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Low Floor transit buses powered by compressed natural gas (CNG). The thermally activated pressure relief device (PRD) installed on the CNG fuel system may not vent the system when exposed to heat, potentially resulting in the system rupturing.
💥 The risk
If the fuel system ruptures from exposure to heat, there may be an increased risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
Gillig will work with Agility to notify customers and replace the PRDs, free of charge. The recall began May 15, 2020. Owners may contact Agility customer service at 1-949-267-7745 or 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.)
