The defect
Arcimoto, Inc. (Arcimoto) is recalling certain 2019-2022 FUV, 2021-2022 Rapid Responder, 2020-2022 Deliverator, and Roadster motorcycles. When the battery is at freezing temperatures, the vehicle control unit may inadvertently disable vehicle charging from a power outlet.
The risk
A disabled charging system may result in the driver unknowingly operating the vehicle in an uncharged state, resulting in a stall and increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
An Arcimoto service technician will update the firmware, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 3, 2022. Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293.
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.nhtsa.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.
