2023 ORANGE EV Husk E Recalls

  1. Recall Description

    Orange EV is recalling certain 2023-2024 HUSK-e, 2023-2024 e-TRIEVERs, and 2018-2023 T-Series trucks built with frame extenders. The frame extenders obstruct the rear turn signals, reverse, brake, and taillights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

    Possible Effects

    Obstructed rear lights can reduce the vehicle's visibility to pedestrians or other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

    Action

    Owners are advised to limit on-road use while operating without a trailer until the remedy is completed. Interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk are expected to be mailed February 17, 2025. A second notice will be sent once the remedy is available. Owners may contact Orange EV customer service at 1-866-688-5223.

    Notes

    Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.
