Gillig LLC (“Gillig”), a Livermore, California establishment and a subsidiary of Henry Crown & Company of Wheeling, Illinois, has recalled an estimated 4,286 model year 2019-2023 Low Floor Transit Buses marketed, sold and delivered in the United States.

Recall Category: Power Train – Transmission may separate from Driveshaft

NHTSA Safety Notification 23V740000 reports the Transmission Yoke may separate. If this defect occurs, it could result in Driveshaft separation and a sudden loss of drive power.
