What NHTSA recorded

Gillig is recalling 31 my 2007 29 foot low floor transit buses equipped with saf- holland adl series rear suspensions. In some instances the transverse beam was not properly welded which could result in a failure of the weld.

Possible consequence

If the weld fails, vehicle stability while cornering could be affected resulting in loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in a crash. In addition, the transverse beam could drop to the ground causing sparks that could cause a fire hazard.

Gillig is working with saf holland to have a visual inspection of the adl transverse beam performed. If a weld defect is identified, saf holland will provide a service replacement kit that contains a new transverse beam, all necessary installation hardware, beam replacement and instructions free of charge (please see 08e031).
