Gillig, LLC — Blocked Emergency Exit May Hinder Passenger Exit
Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
What’s wrong
An obstructed emergency exit can hinder passengers from vacating the bus in the event of an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What to do
Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will move one of the emergency exit windows to an unobstructed location, free of charge. The recall began February 22, 2019. Owners may contact Gillig's customer service at 1-510-264-5073 or 1-800-735-1500.
