Plain-English summary

Arcimoto Inc. is recalling certain 2019-2022 FUV, 2020-2022 Roadster, 2020-2022 Deliverator, and 2021 Rapid Responder hybrid electric vehicles. The high voltage control board cover may prevent the high voltage connector from latching properly to the plug.

An improperly latched connector can detach during vehicle operation, resulting in sudden loss of power steering and drive power. This creates a significant risk of crash.

Arcimoto will replace the HV control board cover free of charge. Owner notification was mailed September 14, 2022.
