- Summary
- Gillig is recalling certain model year 2011 low floor buses manufactured from June 13, 2011, through August 12, 2011, equipped with TRW TC34023 steering columns with date codes starting 157 1 11 and ending 228 1 11. The tooth profile and spacing of the tilt lock teeth on the support bracket may be incorrect, preventing the tilt lock bar from fully engaging. This may allow the steering column to slip from the driver- set tilt location and move upward until it locks in another tilt position.
- Consequence
- This unintended movement of the steering column may interfere with the drivers control of the vehicle and increase risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Gillig will notify owners and gillig will replace the steering column free of charge. The safety recall began on September 16, 2011. Owners may contact gillig field service at 1-800-735-1500.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

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.
