NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
Arcimoto Inc (Arcimoto) is recalling certain 2019 FUV motorcycles. The ignition switch is missing the word "Ignition" and the "Off" position is not labeled with the word "Off." As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 123, "Motorcycle Controls and Displays."
The risk
The missing word labels could lead to operator error, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
The remedy
Arcimoto will notify owners, and dealers will replace the key switch trim ring with a laser-etched key switch that contains an "Ignition" and "Off" label, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6923.
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.
