The defect
Gillig LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Low Floor transit buses. The affected vehicles have wiper arms that can crack where they mount to the wiper motor causing the wiper arms to bend or detach from the vehicle.
The risk
A loss of wiper function can reduce the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
