What this recall means for you
A pintle hook on certain Orange EV trucks partially blocks the center of the backup lights. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 for lamps and reflective devices.
With the backup lights partly obstructed, the vehicle may be less visible to pedestrians and other drivers when reversing, which increases the risk of a crash.
Orange EV will replace the rear passenger taillight free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 15, 2025. Contact Orange EV customer service at 1-866-688-5223, and check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
