Service Brakes, Hydraulic › Brake Fluid Low Warning › Lamp — Arcimoto · reported 31 Dec 2018 · 23 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

Arcimoto Inc (Arcimoto) is recalling certain 2017-2018 FUV motorcycles. The affected motorcycles do not have a service brake warning light to warn the operator if there is a brake system malfunction. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 122, "Motorcycle brake systems."

The risk

If the operator unknowingly operates the motorcycle with a problem in the brake system, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

The fix

Arcimoto has notified all affected owners and the motorcycles are within the manufacturer's control. Arcimoto will update the service brake warning light software, free of charge. Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293. Arcimoto's number for this recall is 7F7-H7M4W-12.

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
