Arcimoto Recalls 2017-2018 FUV Motorcycles for Missing Certification Labels

Arcimoto is recalling 2017-2018 FUV motorcycles because they lack required certification labels, which may prevent owners from verifying safety recall status.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a documentation and labeling issue (missing certification label) rather than a direct mechanical defect or active safety hazard, which aligns with the 'Low' severity criteria for documentation issues.

Plain-English summary

Arcimoto Inc is recalling certain 2017-2018 FUV motorcycles. The affected vehicles were built without a certification label applied, causing them to fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

The missing label can affect the owner's ability to determine if a safety recall includes their vehicle. If the owner is not able to verify if their motorcycle is involved in a safety recall, it can increase the risk of injury or crash.

Arcimoto has notified all affected owners and the motorcycles are within the manufacturer's control. Arcimoto will replace the vehicle with a fully compliant one, free of charge. Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293. Arcimoto's number for this recall is 7F7-X7F9K-12. 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.
