Orange EV is recalling 37 trucks, including certain 2023-2024 e-TRIEVER and 2018-2023 T-Series models equipped with beavertail frames. The design of the beavertail frame may obstruct the center of the reverse lights, causing the vehicles to fail federal safety standards for lighting. Orange EV will replace and relocate the reverse lights free of charge to ensure full visibility.
Obstructed reverse lights reduce the vehicle's visibility to pedestrians and other drivers when backing up, which increases the risk of a collision. While no specific injuries are reported, this defect violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108.
You have 2 options:
Limitation of vehicle use
Replace and relocate reverse lights
