Arcimoto Inc "Arcimoto" is recalling certain 2019-2020 FUV, and 2020 Deliverator vehicles. The electronic drivers in some of the high voltage "HV" contactors may malfunction and overheat, which could cause the battery to shutdown.
An unexpected battery shutdown can cause a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
Arcimoto will notify owners, and an Arcimoto factory technician will replace the contactors and related components, free of charge. Arcimoto does not intend to send any dealer or distributor notifications, as it has neither dealers nor distributors at this time. The recall began March 29, 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.
