ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
- The defect
- Arcimoto Inc. (Arcimoto) is recalling certain 2019 FUV motorcycles. Due to electrical interference within the electrical harnesses and modules, the instrument cluster display may intermittently go blank. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 123, "Motorcycle Controls and Displays."
- What it can cause
- Lack of display information may cause operator confusion, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Arcimoto will notify owners and install a flyback/damping-diode to the exterior of the wiper motor to block a power surge, add filter and surge protection to display backer board or inline to upgrade display's ability to block electrical noise, and install Check RAM Corruption (CRC) software. All services will be performed free of charge. The recall began January 24, 2020. Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 50 vehicles this is a small campaign: 78% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Arcimoto vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 3 times before this, most recently in November 2019 as 19V830000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 11 other recalls published here, the newest being: 22V507000 (electrical system), 22V223000 (electrical system), 22V175000 (service brakes), 21V314000 (seat belts).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Arcimoto Inc with NHTSA on January 20, 2020 as campaign 20V031000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
