Summary

Arcimoto Inc. "Arcimoto" is recalling certain 2019 FUV motorcycles. Due to electrical interference within the electrical harnesses and modules, the instrument cluster display may intermittently go blank. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard "FMVSS" number 123, "Motorcycle Controls and Displays."

Consequence

Lack of display information may cause operator confusion, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Arcimoto will notify owners and install a flyback/damping-diode to the exterior of the wiper motor to block a power surge, add filter and surge protection to display backer board or inline to upgrade display's ability to block electrical noise, and install Check RAM Corruption "CRC" software. All services will be performed free of charge. The recall began January 24, 2020. Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293.
