Arcimoto Recalls 2019 FUV Motorcycles for Missing Ignition Switch Labels

Arcimoto is recalling 2019 FUV motorcycles because the ignition switch lacks required 'Ignition' and 'Off' labels, which could lead to operator error.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a labeling defect that fails to meet federal safety standards, creating a theoretical risk of operator error and injury, but no specific injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Arcimoto Inc is recalling certain 2019 FUV motorcycles. The recall addresses a defect where the ignition switch is missing the word "Ignition" and the "Off" position is not labeled with the word "Off." As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 123, "Motorcycle Controls and Displays."

The missing labels could lead to operator error, increasing the risk of injury or crash. Arcimoto will notify owners, and dealers will replace the key switch trim ring with a laser-etched key switch that contains the proper "Ignition" and "Off" labels, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.

Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6923. 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.
