- Defect:
- 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. as such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
