Electrical system
- What is wrong
- On certain 1998-2002 35' and 40' buses and 1999-2002 29' buses, the installation of the air conditioner unit uses bolts along the edge of the housing for attachment. One specific bolt can be too close to the main power cable attachment. Positional tolerance or the use of too long a bolt could cause an electrical short.
- Risk
- An electrical short could lead to component failure or potentially a vehicle fire.
- Remedy
- Customers have been notified to cut the excess length of the air conditioner unit mounting bolt. Owner notification began october 28, 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 1‑800‑735‑1500.
