What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Arcimoto Inc. (Arcimoto) is recalling certain 2019-2022 FUV, 2020-2022 Roadster, Deliverator and 2021 Rapid Responder hybrid electric vehicles. The high voltage (HV) control board cover may prevent the high voltage connector from latching properly to the plug.

The risk

An improperly latched harness connector can detach, and result in a sudden loss of power steering and drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Arcimoto will replace the HV control board cover, free of charge. Owner notification letter were mailed September 14, 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.
