Orange EV is recalling 148 of its electric trucks, including 2023-2024 HUSK-e, 2023-2025 e-TRIEVERs, and 2018-2023 T-Series models equipped with frame extenders. These frame extenders physically block the rear turn signals, brake lights, reverse lights, and taillights, preventing them from being seen by other people on the road. Orange EV will relocate and replace these lighting units with new combination lights free of charge to ensure the vehicles meet federal safety standards.
The frame extenders obstruct the rear lights, which makes the truck significantly less visible to pedestrians and other drivers. This lack of visibility, especially regarding braking and turning intentions, increases the risk of a collision or crash.
You have 2 options:
Relocation and replacement of rear lighting units.
Operational restriction advisory.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
