What's wrong?
The side marker light is a small amber lamp on the front side of the truck. On 2017-2025 Orange Ev T-Series Electric Truck, Husk-E, and E-Triever trucks, that light and the passenger front side reflector are part of the exterior lighting system. They help show the truck's side position and outline to people around it, especially when light is low.
On affected trucks, the front side marker lights are missing, and the passenger front side reflectors are installed in the wrong location. That layout does not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108 for lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment. The problem is not a bulb burning out during use. It is the way the lighting and reflector equipment was built or placed on the truck.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner or fleet technician would need to inspect the front side marker lights and the passenger front side reflector location to spot the issue.

What's the safety risk?
Missing or incorrectly positioned marker lights and reflectors make the trailer harder for other drivers to see, which increases crash risk. Until the repair is complete, limit on-road use while operating without a trailer and schedule service soon. Repair is free at any franchised Orange Ev dealer.
