Orange Ev is recalling 148 2018-2024 T-Series Electric Truck, Husk-E, and E-Triever trucks under recall 24V964 because frame extenders obstruct the rear turn signals, reverse lights, brake lights, and taillights. Obstructed rear lights can make these trucks harder for pedestrians and other drivers to see, increasing crash risk; Orange Ev dealers will complete the free repair once the final remedy opens.

What's wrong?
The rear lamps on these 2018-2024 Orange Ev T-Series Electric Truck, Husk-E, and E-Triever trucks tell people behind the truck what the driver is doing. They show braking, turning, reverse movement, and tail light position so other drivers and workers have a clear view of the truck's next move.
On affected trucks, the frame extenders block part of that rear lighting. Orange Ev offered the frame extenders as an option, but did not complete the visibility check needed after that change. The lamps still exist, but the truck body equipment prevents the rear turn signals, reverse lights, brake lights, and taillights from being seen the way they are required to be seen.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is not a bulb burning out or a dashboard alert; it is the way the frame extender sits in relation to the rear lamps. The repair relocates the rear tail lamps and replaces the original LED lights with two multifunction combination lamps for backup, tail, stop, and rear turn signal functions.
