Arcimoto model year 2019 FUV motorcycles with possible braking issue

The motorcycle may lose braking ability

James Limbach Reporter

Arcimoto is recalling 50 model year 2019 FUV motorcycles.

During full right steering lock, the brake line may contact the steering main-link.

The contact may wear through the hard brake line, causing a loss of braking ability and increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

Arcimoto will notify owners, and dealers will inspect for proper clearance between the hard brake line and the steering main-link, correcting as necessary free of charge.

The recall was expected to begin in January 2020.

Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at (541) 683-6293.
