DEFECT #1 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING


Posted on: 2002-12-19
Description
On certain low floor 29', 35' and 40' buses, the engine compartment insulation could fatigue and sag, potentially touching the turbocharger.  

Consequence
This could potentially lead to a vehicle fire.  

Corrective Action
Gillig is providing the owners with new insulation and installation procedures.  The new insulation is to be installed on the inside side surface of the access hatch and a mechanical retaining strip to support the adjacent insulation.  The retaining strip is attached with nuts and bolts.  Owner notification began december 19, 2002.  Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact gillig at 1-800-735-1500.
