What's wrong?
The driveshaft on a 2024-2025 Orange Ev Husk-E terminal truck carries turning force from the electric drive system to the rear axle. These trucks use two rear axles on a walking beam suspension, a setup that lets the rear axle group move over uneven pavement while the truck works in a terminal yard. The driveshaft needs enough clearance from nearby brake parts as that suspension moves.
On affected trucks, a design issue leaves the recalled driveshaft too close to the passenger-side brake chamber or its bracket on the non-drive axle. As the walking beam suspension moves, the driveshaft can rub or strike those parts. That contact leaves rub marks and can damage the brake chamber or bracket.
The operator can hear clunking or rubbing while turning. During an inspection, look for rub marks on the driveshaft, brake chamber, or brake chamber bracket. At the first sign of rubbing, stop using the truck.
Who's affected?
Both model years use the same driveshaft part, 69-004-00058-n.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Orange Ev technician inspects the driveshaft and the passenger side brake chamber and bracket for contact damage. The technician replaces the driveshaft, brake chamber components, or related bracket parts when the inspection finds damage. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the standard warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the trucks remain fully covered under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
