Air Brake Supply Lines Crossed/FMVSS 121
Gillig LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain model year 2014 Lowfloor transit buses manufactured January 2, 2014, to March 6, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the air brake system supply lines from the primary and secondary air tanks to the brake valves may have been crossed at the bulkhead during assembly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 121, "Air Brake Systems."
NHTSA ID: 14V547000
Component:
# of Units Affected: 90
Consequence Summary:
If the primary and secondary air brake supply lines from the tanks to the brake valve are crossed and the vehicle loses pressure in the primary tank, the vehicle service brake system performance may be reduced. In the case of a total loss of primary tank air pressure, the service brake system will not function. If the service brake system does not function or performance is reduced, an application of the brake pedal by the vehicle operator may not slow or stop the vehicle as expected, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action:
Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will correct the installation of the primary and secondary brake supply lines, free of charge. The recall began on October 17, 2014. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500.

Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Low Floor transit buses manufactured July 25, 2013, to June 17, 2014. The affected vehicles may have been produced without a quick release valve for the rear brakes on buses built with rear disc brakes.

NHTSA ID: 14V459000
Component: SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
# of Units Affected: 252
Consequence Summary:
If the bus's anti-lock brake system was non-functioning and the bus experienced a significant braking event that when combined with the road conditions may lock the rear brakes, then a delay in brake release timing could result in a lock up of the rear wheels, increasing the risk of crash.
Corrective Action:

NHTSA ID: 14V358000
Component: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
# of Units Affected: 648
Consequence Summary:
If the sampling hose leaks oil in the presence of hot engine engine exhaust components, there is an increased risk of fire.

NHTSA ID: 14V222000
Component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
# of Units Affected: 2,274
