The 2024 ORANGE EV E-TRIEVER has 0 complaints and 12 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owner reports cover a variety of lighting and structural issues related to safety compliance, but no formal complaint submissions exist at this time.
There are 12 recalls addressing multiple safety-related systems including lighting, steering, and frame components. These recalls primarily concern noncompliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108 and the potential for loss of steering control due to improperly tightened fasteners.
- Trailer hitch obstruction. The pintle hook partially blocks the center of the backup lights, reducing visibility and failing FMVSS 108 standards. (Recall 25V328000, 301 vehicles affected)
- Backup lights blocked. Backup lights are obstructed by the hitch, increasing crash risk due to reduced visibility. Remedy involves replacing the rear passenger taillight free of charge.
- Loose steering fasteners. Bolts securing the upper steering shaft clamp may be improperly tightened, risking separation of steering components and loss of steering control. (Recall 25V360000, 968 vehicles affected)
- Frame extenders block lights. Frame extenders obstruct rear turn signals, reverse, brake, and taillights, resulting in noncompliance with FMVSS 108. Owners are advised to limit on-road use without a trailer until repaired. (Recall 24V964000, 148 vehicles affected)
- Incorrect emergency manuals. Emergency Response Guide and operator manuals incorrectly state the emergency stop button shuts off the high voltage system. This misleads operators about electrical system status, posing shock risk. Free corrected manuals and warning labels provided. (Recall 24V800000, 1334 vehicles affected)
- Beavertail frame blocks reverse lights. The beavertail frame end obstructs reverse lights, failing FMVSS 108 standards. Owners should restrict use without a trailer until fixed. (Recall 24V963000, 38 vehicles affected)
- Missing or misplaced side marker lights. Front side marker lights may be missing, and passenger front side reflectors may be incorrectly located, reducing visibility to other drivers. Interim restrictions advised until repair. (Recall 24V965000, 1276 vehicles affected)
Owners with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues related to safety defects may have rights under state lemon law protections regarding their 2024 ORANGE EV E-TRIEVER. Consulting a consumer protection attorney could help navigate these concerns.
