- Summary
- Gillig is recalling 31 my 2007 29 foot low floor transit buses equipped with saf- holland adl series rear suspensions. In some instances the transverse beam was not properly welded which could result in a failure of the weld.
- Consequence
- If the weld fails, vehicle stability while cornering could be affected resulting in loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in a crash. In addition, the transverse beam could drop to the ground causing sparks that could cause a fire hazard.
- Remedy
- Gillig is working with saf holland to have a visual inspection of the adl transverse beam performed. If a weld defect is identified, saf holland will provide a service replacement kit that contains a new transverse beam, all necessary installation hardware, beam replacement and instructions free of charge (please see 08E031). The recall began on April 29, 2008. Owners may contact gillig at 1-510-264-5031 or saf-holland at 1-231-773-3271.

Has your Gillig been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Gillig dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
