NHTSA Recall 24V800000
Filed by Orange EV. Component: Equipment. Reported 2024-10-24. An estimated 1,334 vehicles are affected. Recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer.
Defect
Orange EV (OEV) is recalling certain 2017-2024 T-Series and 2023-2024 e-TRIEVER terminal trucks. The Emergency Response Guide (ERG), operator, maintenance, and service manuals incorrectly state that the emergency stop button in the vehicle cab will shut off and lock out the high voltage system.
Risk
Incorrect lockout instructions can mislead the operator into thinking the high voltage system is shut down, increasing the risk of injury by electrical shock.
What the manufacturer will do
OEV will provide corrected ERG, operator, and maintenance manuals and add additional warning labels, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 20, 2024. Owners may contact OEV customer service at 1-866-688-5223. OEV's number for this recall is 2024-SRC-01.
Manufacturer campaign number: 2024-SRC-01
