The defect
Arcimoto Inc (Arcimoto) is recalling certain 2019 FUV motorcycles. Due to a software error, communication between inverters may time out, possibly resulting in an unexpected battery shutdown.
The risk
If the battery unexpectedly shuts down, the motorcycle can immediately lose power, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Arcimoto will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the inverter software/ firmware, free of charge. The recall began January 21, 2020. Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293.

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.
