The problem
Arcimoto, Inc (Arcimoto) is recalling certain 2017-2018 FUV motorcycles. The combination brake light, tail light, and turn signal assembly does not have a reflex reflector in the side-facing surfaces. As such these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
Without rear side reflex reflectors, the vehicle may have less visibility from the side, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Arcimoto has notified all affected owners and the motorcycles are within the manufacturer's control. Arcimoto will add a reflex reflector to each side of the vehicle, free of charge. Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293. Arcimoto's number for this recall is 7F7-H6Y7W-12.
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.
