4. 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.

   Owners are advised to limit on-road use while operating without a trailer until the remedy is completed.
