Arcimoto is recalling 25 model year 2019 FUV motorcycles.

A component of the display board may short circuit causing the communication and display circuit boards to shut down.

As a result, the battery may shut down causing a sudden loss of power and increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

Arcimoto will notify owners, and dealers will trim the pins of the 5V regulator, and apply a layer of protective tape free of charge.

The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.

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