- Summary
- Gillig is recalling certain model year 2011 low floor buses manufactured from August 1, 2011, through October 21, 2011, equipped with parker hydraulic pumps. Some hydraulic steering pumps do not deliver enough fluid or pressure to the steering gear, making the buses difficult to steer at low speeds.
- Consequence
- An unexpected change in the effort required by the driver to turn the steering wheel may affect the drivers control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Gillig will notify owners, and in conjunction with parker technicians parker will replace the spool inside the valve assembly. For pumps with valve subassembly date code 14/11 the entire pump will be replaced. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during January 2012. Owners may contact gillig service at 1-800-735-1500.

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.
