- The defect
- Arcimoto, Inc. (Arcimoto) is recalling certain 2019-2022 FUV, 2021-2022 Rapid Responder, 2020-2022 Deliverator, and Roadster motorcycles. When the battery is at freezing temperatures, the vehicle control unit may inadvertently disable vehicle charging from a power outlet.
- What it can cause
- A disabled charging system may result in the driver unknowingly operating the vehicle in an uncharged state, resulting in a stall and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- An Arcimoto service technician will update the firmware, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 3, 2022. 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.nhtsa.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 516 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 51% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Arcimoto vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 8 times before this, most recently in May 2021 as 21V311000. 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), 22V175000 (service brakes), 21V314000 (seat belts), 21V311000 (electrical system).
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 April 6, 2022 as campaign 22V223000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
