Orange EV is recalling 106 of its 2022 e-Triever electric terminal trucks because a fastener for the parking brake slack adjuster may not have been properly tightened during assembly. This defect can prevent the parking brake from fully engaging even when the driver believes it is set. Orange EV has already identified the affected vehicles and reached out to owners, with all necessary repairs completed as of December 19, 2022. Owners who have questions about their specific vehicle should contact Orange EV customer service.
A loose fastener in the brake system can cause the parking brake to fail, allowing the vehicle to roll away unexpectedly while parked. This unintended movement increases the risk of a crash or injury to bystanders.
Orange EV Service will tighten or replace the parking brake fastener free of charge.
