What NHTSA recorded

Gillig is recalling certain model year 2011 low floor buses manufactured from august 1, 2011, through october 21, 2011, equipped with parker hydraulic pumps. Some hydraulic steering pumps do not deliver enough fluid or pressure to the steering gear, making the buses difficult to steer at low speeds.

Possible consequence

An unexpected change in the effort required by the driver to turn the steering wheel may affect the drivers’ control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Gillig will notify owners, and in conjunction with parker technicians parker will replace the spool inside the valve assembly. For pumps with valve subassembly date code 14/11 the entire pump will be replaced. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during january 2012. Owners may contact gillig service at 1-800-735-1500.
