Summary

Arcimoto Inc. (Arcimoto) is recalling certain 2019-2022 FUV, 2020-2022 Roadster, Deliverator and 2021 Rapid Responder hybrideBay logo electric vehicles. The high voltage (HV) control board cover may prevent the high voltage connector from latching properly to the plug.

 

Remedy

Arcimoto will replace the HV control board cover, free of charge. Owner notification letter were mailed September 14, 2022. Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293.

 

Notes

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.

 


Arcimoto has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2019-2022 D-Deliverators, E-Rapid Responders, R-Roadsters, and T-FUVs.

 


Chronology :

On June 2nd, 2022, Arcimoto’s production line identified an issue with a HV/Harness Connector being unable to fully engage with the latching mechanism. This lack of engagement allowed the connector to become dislodged over time. There were no previous customer complaints, field reports, or warranty claims before the discovery on June 2nd. A safety management meeting was called to discuss the next steps to take. It was decided that more testing should be done to determine just how likely the HV/Harness Connector could become disengaged without being properly engaged over time. A High Accelerated Life Test (HALT) was conducted by the Quality Department to simulate real life conditions. The test results showed that there is significant probability that the connection could disengage over time, resulting in the worst case scenario of losing power steering and traction power. On June 7th, the production line began using the HV Control Board Covers with the recess to allow for proper latching. On July 8th, after the test data came back showing proof of the safety risk, Arcimoto Executives and Safety Committee Members voted unanimously to conduct a voluntary recall and notify NHTSA of our findings and decision.

 

Why is your vehicle being recalled?

Arcimoto discovered a defect in the high voltage (HV) control cover; this defect prevents the HV connector from fully latching. When this happens, over time, the HV connector could become disengaged. If the HV connector does lose connection, all HV power will be lost, which increases the risk of the vehicle being involved in a crash.

 

What will we do?

Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to contact Arcimoto to schedule a service appointment to have their vehicle’s HV control cover upgraded. There will be no charge to vehicle owners for this service.

 

What should you do?

Please contact Arcimoto to schedule a service appointment.
