What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Arcimoto Inc (Arcimoto) is recalling certain 2017-2018 FUV motorcycles. These vehicles were built without a certification label applied and, as such, they fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

The risk

The missing label can affect the owner's ability to determine if a safety recall includes their vehicle. If the owner is not able to verify if their motorcycle is involved in a safety recall, it can increase the risk of injury or crash.

The remedy

Arcimoto has notified all affected owners and the motorcycles are within the manufacturer's control. Arcimoto will replace the vehicle with a fully compliant one, free of charge. Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293. Arcimoto's number for this recall is 7F7-X7F9K-12.

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.safercar.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.
