What this recall means for you
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. This means a problem in the brake system could go unnoticed, and the vehicle does not meet federal motorcycle brake standards.
If the rider unknowingly operates the vehicle with a brake system problem, the risk of a crash increases. Owners should contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293 to schedule the free fix, which is a software update that adds the brake warning light function. Check your VIN for open recalls as well, to confirm whether your vehicle is affected.
