What's wrong

Arcimoto Inc. (Arcimoto) is recalling certain 2019-2021 FUV, 2020-2021 Deliverator and Roadster, and 2021 Rapid Responder motorcycles. The inverter’s firmware may allow the vehicle’s battery to shutdown without warning.

The risk

Opening the main contactor may cause a battery shutdown and loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Arcimoto will notify owners, and will update the firmware, free of charge. The recall began April 27, 2021. Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293.

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.
