The problem

Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Low Floor transit buses. These vehicles have front LED turn signals with integrated side reflex reflectors that may not be sufficiently visible to other drivers or pedestrians.

The risk

A bus that has reduced visibility to other drivers or pedestrians has an increased risk of a crash.

What to do
