What's wrong?
The optional foldaway training seat in these 2022-2025 Orange Ev Husk-E, T-Series Electric Truck, and E-Triever terminal trucks gives a trainer or second occupant a place to sit during operation. The seat uses a bracket and receiving mount to attach to the truck, and the seat belt anchorage is supposed to hold the occupant in position when the truck stops or changes direction.
On affected trucks, the foldaway training seat does not meet the federal requirements for seating systems and seat belt anchorages. Orange Ev determined that the seat did not qualify or perform as a compliant designated seating position under FMVSS 207 and 210. That means the seat or its belt anchorage can fail to restrain the occupant as intended.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner or fleet manager will not see a dashboard light, noise, or other symptom that confirms the training seat is compliant before someone uses it.

What happens at the repair
For now, limit use of the foldaway training seat until the repair is complete. Orange Ev has not released the final repair procedure yet. Once the remedy opens, an Orange Ev technician will complete the training seat repair required by the recall, and parts and labor will be free. The manufacturer used its general reimbursement plan on file, so documented out-of-pocket repairs tied to this condition are handled through that plan. Keep any repair paperwork for the service desk or Orange Ev customer service.
