Summary

Arcimoto Inc. "Arcimoto" is recalling certain 2019-2020 FUV motorcycles. The hydraulic brake hose assemblies do not have a "DOT" marking, and also may fail constriction testing. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 106, "Brake Hoses."

Consequence

Non-compliant hydraulic brake hoses may lengthen the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy
