Gillig LLC discovered that certain buses from 2013-2019 don't fully comply with a federal safety standard, specifically FMVSS No. 102, related to transmission safety. They reported this issue in 2019 and requested the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to consider the noncompliance as minor and not affecting vehicle safety. NHTSA agreed with Gillig's assessment, noting that the interlock system in these buses prevents unintended movement, and therefore granted Gillig's petition, exempting them from needing to notify owners or fix the buses.
