What is wrong
Gillig LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Low Floor transit buses powered by compressed natural gas (CNG). The thermally activated pressure relief device (PRD) installed on the CNG fuel system may not vent the system when exposed to heat, potentially resulting in the system rupturing.
What can happen
If the fuel system ruptures from exposure to heat, there may be an increased risk of injury.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Gillig will work with Agility to notify customers and replace the PRDs, free of charge. The recall began May 15, 2020. Owners may contact Agility customer service at 1-949-267-7745 or Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
