Defect Description
Gillig is recalling certain model year 2010 Lowfloor transit buses, manufactured April 16, 2010, through November 16, 2010, and equipped with Ricon 3-Minute Urban Transit Bus Window sets. The composition of the material used to cast the handle that opens the egress window is incorrect, resulting in a reduction in material strength. The handle(s) on the emergency egress passenger windows may break before the window latch is released.
Safety Consequence
In the event the egress window handle fails during an actual emergency situation, passengers may be trapped in the vehicle placing them at risk of injury.
Remedy
Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will replace the window handles free of charge. The recall began during October 2012. Owners may contact Gillig at 1-800-735-1500 for more information.
