Description:
Orange EV is recalling certain 2023-2024 e-TRIEVER and 2018-2023 T-Series trucks built with beavertail frames. The end of the beavertail frame may obstruct the center of the reverse lights. 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.’
Consequences:
Obstructed reverse lights can reduce the vehicle’s visibility to pedestrians or other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Actions:
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 13, 2025. A second notice will be sent once the remedy is available. Owners may contact Orange EV customer service at 1-866-688-5223.
