Arcimoto Recalls TRiO Conversion Kits Due to Bolt Failure Risk

Arcimoto is recalling TRiO conversion kits because a connecting bolt may fail, causing immediate loss of traction power and increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (bolt failure) that causes loss of traction power and increases the risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Arcimoto Inc is recalling certain TRiO conversion kits. The recall addresses a defect where the bolt connecting the shock hoop to the pivot plate may fail. This failure can cause an immediate loss of traction power.

The loss of traction power can make the vehicle more difficult to control, which increases the risk of a crash. The source text does not specify the number of affected units or the specific model years involved.

Arcimoto will inspect and rework the kits to ensure the lockthread is present and re-torque the bolts free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 22, 2021. Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
