Gillig Recalls 2023-2024 Low Floor Buses Due to Incorrect Weight Placard

Gillig is recalling 2023-2024 Low Floor transit buses because the rear weight placard may exceed tire ratings, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the defect increases the risk of a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Gillig, LLC is recalling certain 2023-2024 Low Floor transit buses equipped with Michelin X InCity Grip D rear tires. The recall addresses a defect where the rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed on the federal placard may exceed the actual tire load rating. This discrepancy causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 120, "Wheels and Rims - Other Than Passenger Cars."

The incorrect GAWR information can lead to unintentional overloading of the rear tires, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific number of affected units is provided in the source text, but the recall covers the specified model years and tire configuration.

Gillig will replace the federal placard free of charge to correct the error. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on April 24, 2026. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500 for more information.
