Orange EV Recalls HUSK-E Trucks Due to Incorrect Weight Rating Placard

Orange EV is recalling 2023-2024 HUSK-E XP terminal trucks because the rear weight rating placard is incorrect and tires may be inadequate, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (incorrect weight rating and inadequate tires) that increases the risk of a crash, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Orange EV is recalling certain 2023-2024 HUSK-E XP terminal trucks. The recall addresses an incorrect rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) on the federal placard and potentially inadequate tires and rims for the truck's intended use. These vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 120, "Wheels and Rims - Other Than Passenger Cars."

The incorrect GAWR and inadequate tire and rim combination can lead to unintentionally overloading the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific number of affected units is provided in the source text, but the recall covers the 2023 and 2024 model years.

Orange EV will replace the federal placard free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 18, 2025. Owners may contact Orange EV customer service at 1-866-688-5223 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
