The 2021 ORANGE EV T-SERIES ELECTRIC TRUCK has 0 complaints and 10 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to lighting and structural components according to recall data.
There are 10 recalls affecting systems including exterior lighting, trailer hitches, structural frame components, emergency manuals, and steering mechanisms.
Recalls- Backup lights and trailer hitches. Recall 25V328000 affects 301 trucks due to the pintle hook partially blocking the center of the backup lights. This violates FMVSS 108 and increases crash risk by reducing visibility. The remedy is replacement of the rear passenger taillight free of charge. Owner letters were sent in August 2025.
- Frame extenders obstruct lighting. Recall 24V964000 covers 148 trucks with frame extenders obstructing rear turn signals, reverse, brake, and taillights. This violates FMVSS 108 and creates crash risk. Owners should limit on-road use without a trailer until fixed. Interim letters were sent in February 2025 with a follow-up notice pending.
- Incorrect emergency manuals. Recall 24V800000 involves 1334 trucks with manuals incorrectly stating that the emergency stop button disables the high voltage system. This can mislead operators and increase shock risk. Corrected manuals and labels will be provided free. Notifications were mailed December 2024.
- Missing or misplaced exterior lighting. Recall 24V965000 affects 1276 trucks where front side marker lights may be missing and passenger side reflectors misplaced. This violates FMVSS 108 and raises crash risk. Owners should limit on-road use without a trailer until repair. Letters went out in August 2025.
- Steering pitman arm bolt looseness. Recall 21V827000 includes 252 trucks with pitman arm bolts that may loosen, risking detachment and loss of steering. The fix is bolt tightening or replacement at no charge. Owners were notified in November 2021.
