Gillig,: High Voltage Cable May Overheat
Gillig Low Floor Transit Bus Recall Summary Gillig is recalling certain 2023-2026 Low Floor transit buses because a high voltage cable connecting the inverter to the drive unit has a splice connection that reduces its capacity to handle electrical current. This reduced capacity can cause the cable to overheat and potentially catch fire. Gillig will first reprogram the bus software as a temporary fix, then replace the high voltage cable with a corrected version, with both repairs provided at no cost.
