What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Arcimoto Inc (Arcimoto) is recalling certain 2017 FUV motorcycles. Incorrect fittings were installed in the braking system, potentially resulting in a brake fluid leak.

The risk

A brake fluid leak can reduce brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Arcimoto has notified all affected owners and the motorcycles are within the manufacturer's control. Arcimoto will inspect and replace all the incorrect fittings with the correct ones, as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293. Arcimoto's number for this recall is 7F7-Y8A4X-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.
