What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Orange EV (OEV) is recalling certain 2022 e-Triever vehicles. The fastener for the parking brake slack adjustor may not have been properly tightened.

The risk

A loose fastener may prevent the parking brake from properly engaging, allowing the vehicle to rollaway and increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

OEV Service will tighten or replace the fastener, free of charge. All affected vehicles were remedied by December 19, 2022. Owners may contact OEV customer service at 1-866-688-5223.

Notes

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.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
