Arcimoto Recalls 2019 FUV Motorcycles Due to Brake Line Wear Risk

Arcimoto is recalling 2019 FUV motorcycles because the brake line may contact the steering main-link, potentially causing a loss of braking ability and increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (brake line wear) that causes a loss of braking ability, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'structural vehicle defect' or 'significant injury/property-damage reports' (implied by crash risk).

Plain-English summary

Arcimoto Inc. is recalling certain 2019 FUV motorcycles. The recall involves 50 affected vehicles. The defect occurs during full right steering lock, where the brake line may contact the steering main-link.
