GILLIG ISSUES RECALL

WASHINGTON, D.C. --- Gillig Corp. is recalling about 2,000 2001-2009 Phantom
transit buses equipped with Lift-U wheelchair lifts.


The outboard ramp barrier poses a possible safety risk to passengers; it may
fold in toward a lift passenger, possibly injuring the passenger's feet,
according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Gillig will notify bus owners, and Lift-U will make the repairs free of charge.

Lift-U can be reached at (209) 838-2400. Gillig can be reached at (800) 735-1500
