STEERING:GEAR BOX:SHAFT PITMAN
- The defect
- 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.
- What it can cause
- 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.
- What the dealer does
- 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.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
