Gillig is recalling 231 model year 2014 Low Floor transit buses because a fuel filter defect may cause the engine to stall unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (fuel filter separation) that causes the engine to stall without warning, explicitly increasing the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury risk.
Plain-English summary
Gillig LLC is recalling certain model year 2014 Low Floor transit buses manufactured between May 23, 2014, and August 1, 2014. The recall affects 231 vehicles equipped with Cummins ISB or ISL engines that may have Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters (part number FF63009).
The filter shell on these specific fuel filters may separate from the fuel filter nut plate. This defect can cause the engine to stall without warning. If the engine stalls unexpectedly while the vehicle is in operation, there is an increased risk of a crash.
Cummins will notify owners on behalf of Gillig. Cummins service centers will replace the fuel filter free of charge. The recall began on September 16, 2014. Owners may contact Gillig at 1-510-785-1500 or Cummins customer service at 1-812-377-3713. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
