Safety Recall: Display Corruption Due to Electrical Interference
NHTSA Recall: 20V031
Dear <First name, Last name>:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Arcimoto has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2019 model year FUVs.
Why is your vehicle being recalled?
Your vehicle may experience intermittent display corruption and loss of display information, due to electrical interference within the Arcimoto FUV electrical harnesses and modules.

This lack of uninterrupted display information could cause operator confusion in circumstances, increasing the risk of a crash.
What will we do?
A trained Arcimoto Service Technician will remedy the display corruption defect by implementing a three-phase remedy program: Phase One installs new software to perform display checks, Phase Two blocks any wiper motor power surge and upgrades the display’s ability to block electrical noise, Phase Three installs new software to actively prevent display corruption. The replacement will be performed at no cost and each phase can take up to one hour to complete.
What should you do?
Contact Arcimoto to schedule a service appointment.
