Defect Summary: Gillig, llc (gillig) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 low floor transit buses manufactured july 25, 2013, to june 17, 2014. the affected vehicles may have been produced without a quick release valve for the rear brakes on buses built with rear disc brakes. as such, these vehicles fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems."
