2023-2026 Low Floor transit buses recall: High voltage cable may overheat

Gillig, LLC is recalling certain 2023–2026 Low Floor transit buses because the high‑voltage cable connecting the inverter to the drive unit contains a splice that reduces its ampacity rating. The reduced capacity may cause the cable to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire. Gillig will reprogram the software as an interim repair and will replace the high‑voltage cable as the final remedy, both free; owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 27, 2026, and owners may contact Gillig at 1-800-735-1500.
