Orange EV Recalls Terminal Trucks Over Training Seat Safety Standard Violations

What Happened

Orange EV (OEV) has issued a recall for several models of its electric terminal trucks due to a defect in the optional foldaway training seat. According to the manufacturer, these seats may fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 207, “Seating Systems,” and 210, “Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages.”

Which Products Are Affected

The recall affects an estimated 3,696 units across the following model lines:

• Orange EV T-Series Pure Electric Terminal Trucks: Model years 2022-2023
• Orange EV e-TRIEVER: Model years 2023-2025
• Orange EV HUSK-e: Model years 2023-2026

What You Should Do

Owners are advised to limit the use of the foldaway training seat until the necessary repairs have been completed. Orange EV is currently developing a remedy for the issue. Interim notification letters are expected to be mailed to owners by April 24, 2026. A second notice will be sent once the final remedy is available. Owners may contact Orange EV customer service at 1-866-688-5223 and reference recall number 2026-SRC-02.

Why This Matters

A seat that fails to meet federal safety standards may not properly restrain an occupant during a collision. This failure increases the risk of serious injury to the person using the training seat during a crash.
