2019 Arcimoto FUV recalls
Connector may detach, causing sudden loss of power and steering
A high voltage control board cover may keep the high voltage connector from latching fully onto its plug.
Charging can shut off in freezing cold, risking a stall
When the battery is at freezing temperatures, the vehicle control unit may inadvertently disable charging from a power outlet.
Brake Lights May Stay On Constantly, Confusing Other Drivers
The brake pressure switch can corrode after exposure to road salt and de-icing chemicals.
Software Error Can Cut Power Suddenly, Raising Crash Risk
A software error can cause communication between the vehicle's inverters to time out, which may trigger an unexpected battery shutdown.
Front seat belt may fail to retract after a crack
The front seat belt retractor spool sleeve may crack, and broken pieces can block the belt from retracting properly on these vehicles.
Steering Sensor Fault May Cause Loss of Control
The steering angle sensor on certain Arcimoto vehicles may have been calibrated incorrectly.
Battery May Shut Down Without Warning, Causing Loss of Power
The vehicle's inverter firmware may allow the traction battery to shut down without warning.
Battery May Shut Down, Causing Loss of Power
The high-voltage contactors in the battery system may have electronic drivers that malfunction and overheat.
Brake hoses may not meet safety standards, risking longer stopping distances
The hydraulic brake hose assemblies on these vehicles lack the required DOT marking and may fail constriction testing, meaning they do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 106 for brake hoses.
Loose Power Cable Crimps Can Cause Power Loss or Fire
Some 2019 and 2020 Arcimoto FUV vehicles may have large-gauge traction-power cable lugs that were improperly crimped.
Instrument display may go blank, raising crash risk
The instrument cluster display in certain vehicles may intermittently go blank because of electrical interference within the wiring harnesses and modules.
Brake Line May Wear Through, Causing Loss of Braking
This recall covers certain 2019 vehicles.
Sudden power loss can cause a crash
A component on the display board in certain 2019 FUV vehicles may short circuit.
Ignition Switch Labels Missing, Risking Operator Error
The ignition switch on certain 2019 Arcimoto FUV vehicles is missing the word "Ignition," and its "Off" position is not labeled with the word "Off." This means the vehicles do not meet federal motorcycle controls and displays requirements.
Inverter Software Can Cause Sudden Power Loss and Crash Risk
The inverter in certain 2019 Arcimoto FUV vehicles may send a signal that exceeds its current limit.
Software Fault Can Cut Power Suddenly, Raising Crash Risk
A software error can cause communication between the inverters to time out, which may lead to an unexpected battery shutdown.
Wiring Short Can Cut Power and Raise Crash Risk
The high-voltage wiring harness may have braided shielding that can short against an energized component.
Tie Rods May Separate, Causing Loss of Steering
Certain 2019 Arcimoto FUV vehicles may have insufficient thread engagement between the inner and outer tie rods in the steering linkage.
