POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
Bearing failure may increase the risk of a crash.
20 safety recall campaigns, 1 carrying NHTSA's "park it" advisory, 1 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
1 campaign covering the 2016 GILLIG LOW FLOOR carries NHTSA’s “park it” advisory — the federal government telling owners to stop driving the vehicle until the remedy has been performed. Whether it was performed on any particular car is not something NHTSA publishes in a form anyone can query; a franchised dealer can run the VIN and print the record in a minute, and the repair is free.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
Bearing failure may increase the risk of a crash.
The engine may be started unexpectedly, increasing the risk of injury to anyone nearby the engine compartment during maintenance operations.
A loss of power steering assist may increase the risk of crash.
With the improper circuit breaker rating, an electrical short in either of these circuits may increase the risk of a fire.
A loss of headlights can reduce the driver's ability to see, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the ball stud is insufficiently tightened, the ball stud may wear, resulting in reduced handling and stability, increasing the risk of crash.
Two 2016 GILLIG LOW FLOORs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
