The problem
Orange EV (Orange) is recalling certain 2019-2021 EV-T Series Pure Electric Terminal trucks. The pitman arm bolt may have been incorrectly tightened, allowing the bolt to loosen.
The risk
A loose bolt may allow the pitman arm to detach from the steering box, causing a loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
OEV Service Technicians will tighten or replace the pitman arm bolt, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 18, 2021. Owners may contact Orange customer service at 1-866-688-5223.
