Defect description

Arcimoto Inc. (Arcimoto) is recalling certain 2019-2020 FUV motorcycles. The hydraulic brake hose assemblies do not have a "DOT" marking, and also may fail constriction testing. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 106, "Brake Hoses."

Safety risk

Non-compliant hydraulic brake hoses may lengthen the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Arcimoto will notify owners and will replace the hydraulic brake hose assemblies, free of charge, using factory technicians. The recall began July 16, 2020. Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293.

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.
