Orange EV Recalls HUSK-E Trucks for Electrical Fire Risk

Orange EV is recalling 2023-2025 HUSK-E terminal trucks because an incorrect washer size installed during a previous repair can cause electrical arcing and increase the risk of fire.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect in the propulsion system that explicitly increases the risk of fire, meeting the criteria for a Severe (4) rating.

Plain-English summary

Orange EV (OEV) is recalling certain 2023-2025 HUSK-E terminal trucks that were previously remedied under Recall 25V367 (2025-SRC-04). The recall addresses a defect where the wrong size washer was installed in the thermal fuse bolted joint during the previous repair.

The incorrect washer can cause the bus bar connection to loosen or open. This condition can result in electrical arcing, which increases the risk of a fire.

OEV will install the correctly sized washer free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 4, 2025. Owners may contact OEV customer service at 1-866-688-5223. OEV's number for this recall is 2025-SRC-05.
