STEERING
- The defect
- Orange EV is recalling certain 2021-2022 T-Series Pure Electric Terminal Truck and e-Triever vehicles. The steering gears may have been incorrectly assembled, which can cause the gears to fracture.
- What it can cause
- A fractured steering gear can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Orange EV will inspect and replace the steering gears, as necessary, free of charge. All affected vehicles were repaired by September 15, 2022. Owners may contact Orange's customer service at 1-785-214-1072. Orange's number for this recall is 22E047.
- 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 .

How this campaign compares
At 3 vehicles this is a small campaign: 97% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Orange EV vehicles have been recalled over the steering once before this, most recently in October 2021 as 21V827000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 11 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V453000 (structure), 26V153000 (seats), 26V102000 (latches/locks/linkages), 25V612000 (exterior lighting).
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.
Filed by Orange EV with NHTSA on August 8, 2022 as campaign 22V592000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
