Plain-English summary

Arcimoto, Inc. is recalling certain 2017-2018 FUV motorcycles. The recall addresses a defect in the combination brake light, tail light, and turn signal assembly, which does not include a reflex reflector on the side-facing surfaces. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and Associated Equipment."

The missing rear side reflex reflectors may reduce the vehicle's visibility from the side, which increases the risk of a crash. Arcimoto has notified all affected owners, and the motorcycles are currently within the manufacturer's control.

Arcimoto will add a reflex reflector to each side of the vehicle free of charge. Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293 for more information. Arcimoto's number for this recall is 7F7-H6Y7W-12. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
