As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 141, "Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles." A vehicle that fails to make sufficient sound may result in pedestrians being unaware of an approaching vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

Biodiesel deposits may form on the pump drivetrain roller components, which could lead to failure of the high-pressure fuel pump. High-pressure fuel pump failure can cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." Obstructed reverse lights can reduce the vehicle's visibility to pedestrians or other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Orange EV is recalling certain 2023-2024 HUSK-e, 2023-2024 e-TRIEVERs, and 2021-2023 T-Series trucks built with frame extenders. The frame extenders obstruct the rear turn signals, reverse, brake, and taillights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." Obstructed rear lights can reduce the vehicle's visibility to pedestrians or other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

The front-side marker lights may be missing, and the passenger front-side reflectors may be in the incorrect location. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." Missing or incorrectly positioned lights and reflectors can reduce the visibility of the trailers to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
