The short version

Gillig LLC reported a problem with the conventional air. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The spring cage bolts on the air brakes may not be sufficiently tightened, reducing the effectiveness of the parking brake.

WHY IT MATTERS

Loose cage bolts may result in the bus rolling away when in the park position or a loss of braking ability if the service brake air pressure is lost while moving. Either condition may increase the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the spring cage bolts, free of charge.
