Arcimoto Recalls 2017-2018 FUV Motorcycles for Missing Brake Warning Light

Arcimoto is recalling 2017-2018 FUV motorcycles because they lack a service brake warning light. This defect increases the risk of a crash if the brake system malfunctions.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety-critical component (brake warning light) where the source text explicitly states there is an 'increased risk of a crash,' but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported.

Plain-English summary

Arcimoto Inc is recalling certain 2017-2018 FUV motorcycles. The affected vehicles do not have a service brake warning light to alert the operator if there is a malfunction in the brake system. As a result, these motorcycles fail to comply with Federal Motor Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 122, "Motorcycle brake systems."

If an operator unknowingly rides the motorcycle with a brake system problem, there is an increased risk of a crash. Arcimoto has notified all affected owners, and the motorcycles are currently within the manufacturer's control.

Arcimoto will update the service brake warning light software free of charge. Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293. Arcimoto's number for this recall is 7F7-H7M4W-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 visit www.safercar.gov.
