STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
- The defect
- Arcimoto Inc. (Arcimoto) is recalling certain 2023 FUV and MUV hybrid electric motorcycles. There may be insufficient thread engagement between the inner and outer tie rods, possibly resulting in the separation of the tie rod assembly.
- What it can cause
- Tie rod separation can cause a sudden loss of steering control and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Arcimoto will inspect and adjust the tie rods, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 30, 2023. 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 94 vehicles this is a small campaign: 70% 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, 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Arcimoto vehicles have been recalled over the steering 4 times before this, most recently in May 2021 as 21V307000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 October 13, 2023 as campaign 23V693000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
