Gillig affected vehicles may have been produced without a quick release valve for the rear brakes on buses built with rear disc brakes.
The short version
Gillig LLC reported a problem with the service brakes, air disc. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles may have been produced without a quick release valve for the rear brakes on buses built with rear disc brakes. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.
If the bus's anti-lock brake system was non-functioning and the bus experienced a significant braking event that when combined with the road conditions may lock the rear brakes, then a delay in brake release timing could result in a lock up of the rear wheels, increasing the risk of crash.
Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will install a quick release valve, free of charge.
