Orange EV: Frame Extenders Obstruct Rear Lights/FMVSS 108

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

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.

Risk

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.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your vehicle is affected by checking if it is a 2023-2024 HUSK-e, 2023-2025 e-TRIEVER, or 2018-2023 T-Series truck equipped with optional frame extenders.
  2. Limit on-road use of the vehicle when operating without a trailer attached until the safety remedy has been completed.
  3. Contact Orange EV (OEV) customer service at 1-866-688-5223 to schedule a free relocation and replacement of the rear lighting units.
  4. Review the interim notification letter mailed around February 21, 2025, and watch for a second notice confirming when the final remedy parts are available.
  5. For further information or to report concerns, contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov/recalls.
