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.

Plain-English summary

Arcimoto Inc. is recalling certain 2019 FUV vehicles. The recall addresses a defect in the electrical system, specifically the wiring, fuses, and circuit breakers.

The braided shielding of the high-voltage harness may short against an energized component. This can cause a main fuse to blow, resulting in a loss of traction power. A loss of power can increase the risk of a crash.

Arcimoto will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the harness and replace it, as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer began owner notifications on January 17, 2020. Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
