Arcimoto FUV Recall 19V728: Tie Rods May Separate, Causing Loss of Steering

NHTSA campaign 19V728, reported October 11, 2019, 10 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2019 Arcimoto FUV vehicles may have insufficient thread engagement between the inner and outer tie rods in the steering linkage. Over time, this could allow the tie rod assembly to separate.

If a tie rod separates, the driver can lose steering control, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should be cautious about driving the vehicle until the issue is addressed, and should contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293 for guidance. Arcimoto is still finalizing a remedy to better secure the tie rods, and it will be provided free of charge.
