Plain-English summary

Arcimoto Inc is recalling certain 2017-2018 FUV motorcycles. The recall addresses a defect where the seat may not support the driver as intended in the event of a crash. This failure prevents the seatbelts from holding the driver in place properly.

If the driver is not properly secured, it can increase the risk of injury in a crash. Arcimoto has notified all affected owners, and the motorcycles are currently within the manufacturer's control.
