Arcimoto is recalling 104 model year 2019-2020 FUV motorcycles.

The hydraulic brake hose assemblies do not have a "DOT" marking, and also may fail constriction testing.

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

What to do

Arcimoto will notify owners and will replace the hydraulic brake hose assemblies free of charge, using factory technicians.

This recall is expected to begin July 6, 2020.

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