2017 Arcimoto FUV recalls
Brake failure could lengthen stopping distance and raise crash risk
Certain 2017 vehicles were built with a front/rear split brake system instead of a left/right split brake system.
Brake System Warning Light Missing, Raising Crash Risk
The affected vehicles do not have a service brake warning light to alert the rider when there is a brake system malfunction, such as low brake fluid.
Seat May Not Hold Driver Securely in a Crash
The seat in certain vehicles may not support the driver as intended during a crash.
Brake Fluid Leak Can Reduce Braking Power
Incorrect fittings were installed in the braking system, which can cause a brake fluid leak.
Front turn signals may be hard to see, raising crash risk
Some 2017 and 2018 Arcimoto FUV vehicles have front turn signal lights that are not positioned at or near the front of the vehicle, as federal lighting standard FMVSS 108 requires.
Rear lights may lack side reflectors, raising crash risk
The combined brake light, tail light, and turn signal assembly on these vehicles does not include a reflex reflector on the side-facing surfaces.
Headlights May Not Be Seen as a Motorcycle at Night
The headlights on certain 2017-2018 Arcimoto FUV vehicles may be spaced too far apart, so oncoming drivers may not recognize the vehicle as a motorcycle in the dark.
Front Steering Can Loosen, Risking Loss of Control
The front suspension and steering system on certain 2017-2018 vehicles may loosen or wear over time.
Sudden Power Loss Can Raise Crash Risk
Over time, increased electrical resistance at the traction battery connection can cause the Battery Management System to unexpectedly shut down propulsion power while the vehicle is being driven.
Missing certification label may hide safety recalls
Some 2017 and 2018 Arcimoto FUV vehicles were built without the required certification label.
