Then the BMS will send a message to the charger enabled relay (CER) switch so that it is disabled. When the CER is disable charging will not be allowed until the battery temperature goes above freezing again, at which point the CER will become re-enabled. This design is to prevent unsafe charging at temperatures below freezing, which can damage the battery. When a freezing event happens twice in one minute the CER will lose its ability to be re-enabled. This will disable all charging for the vehicle, (KERS) or outlet, until a hard reset can be done. FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : If an owner were to attempt to charge their vehicle overnight, not knowing the vehicle is unable to be charged due to the defect, the owner could feasibly start the vehicle and attempt to drive it. The result could be that the engine unexpectedly stalls, creating a risk of a crash. Description of the Cause : This defect is being caused because the battery is trying to prevent an unsafe charging situation. If a battery is below 0°C the VCU will send a message to the BMS and then to the CER so that charging can not occur. Once the temperature goes back above freezing then the VCU will send a message using the BMS to enable the CER and charging can resume. This whole process is a safety feature to prevent the battery from charging during freezing temperatures which can damage the battery. However if the battery temperature drops below freezing twice in a minute which can happen the CER will not re-enable after two times in one minute. Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : None Involved Components : Component Name 1 : VCU, ECOTRONS, ES1274A Component Description : VCU Component Part Number : 003222 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-223 Page 4 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Component Name 2 : ORION BMS 2 Component Description : BMS Component Part Number : 001052 Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : Ecotrons LLC Address : 13115 Barton Rd Ste H Whittier California 90605 Country : United States Chronology : Beginning on 12/14/21, the service team started to receive emails and phone calls about vehicles being unable to charge. There were field reports on 12/15/21, 12/22/21, there were (2) two on 12/28/21, (1) one on 12/30/21 and then (1) one on 1/5/22. The Arcimoto service department notified the Regulatory and Quality Departments and on January 13th a problem communication meeting was called to begin evaluating the situation so that a root cause could be established and a remedy found. Until the severity of the known issue could be evaluated a hold on shipping was requested. The electrical engineering team and the service department continued investigating the defect. On 2/17/21 it was confirmed that the VCU was sending a message to the BMS and disabling the CER whenever the temperature was below 0°C. The research went on to show that once the temperature went back above 0°C the VCU would have the BMS re-enable the CER. The problem was that this defect was causing the CER to be disabled twice in a minute if the temperature changed above/below freezing more than twice in a minute. The firmware was programmed to disable the CER as an extra safety feature. This however disabled all charging until a hard reset could be done on the vehicle. On April 4th Arcimoto discussed with NHTSA representatives the potential safety risk. At that time it was discussed that an operator of the vehicle could possibly not check battery charge after a night of non-charging and try to drive, due to the defect. This could result in a operator becoming stranded in a dangerous situation that would leave the vehicle in a vulnerable state which would increase the risk of a crash. There was internal discussion regarding the safety risk for this defect and if it would filed as a TSB or recall. After discussing with NHTSA staff on April 4th 2022 Arcimoto filed the part 573 report for a safety recall. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-223 Page 5 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to contact Arcimoto to schedule a service appointment to have their firmware updated to prevent the defect from happening. Only the Arcimoto service department is allowed to update the firmware, so there will be no reimbursement if the firmware is updated by anyone other than Arcimoto. There will be no charge to vehicle owners for this service. To the best of our knowledge, no owners have incurred any costs resulting from this defect. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : The new firmware will still allow the VCU to disable the CER and will prevent charging if the temperature falls below 0°C The difference is that the amount of times that the temperature goes below and above freezing during a minute will be increased and make it mathematically impossible to have the CER latch out again during fluctuating temperatures around the 0°C mark. Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : On March 11th the new firmware was confirmed and released to both service and production teams. The production department is now able to continue manufacturing the vehicles with the new firmware in place. Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Arcimoto does not intend to send any dealer or distributor notifications, as it has neither dealers nor distributors at this time. Planned Dealer Notification Date : JUN 03, 2022 – JUN 10, 2022 Planned Owner Notification Date : JUN 03, 2022 – JUN 10, 2022 * NR – Not Reported

When this happens twice in one minute it will disable the CER and prevent charging from an outlet and the kinetic energy restorative system. Once this happens charging can not happen again until a hard reset is done. FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : If an owner were to attempt to charge their vehicle overnight, not knowing the vehicle is unable to be charged due to the defect, the owner could feasibly start the vehicle and attempt to drive it. The result could be that the engine unexpectedly stalls, creating a risk of a crash. Description of the Cause : This defect is being caused because the battery is trying to prevent an unsafe charging situation. If a battery is below 0°C the VCU will turn the CER off to prevent charging below freezing. The VCU will then allow charging after the temperature is above 0°C again. This is a normal function. When the VCU sees the temperature drop below 0°C then raises above 0°C and then it happens a second time within a minute, due to fluctuating temperature at the freezing mark, it will disable the CER permanently and will not allow charging again until a hard reset is done.

On January 13th a problem communication meeting was called to evaluate the serenity of the situation and determine the next steps for establishing a root cause. It was determined that this was a serious enough problem to place a hold on shipping any more vehicles until a root cause and remedy could be established. The electrical engineering team and the service department began investigating the defect. On February 17th it was confirmed that the VCU was disabling the CER when the temperature was below 0°C to prevent an unsafe charging situation.

If a battery is below 0°C the VCU will turn the CER off to prevent charging below freezing. The VCU will then allow charging after the temperature is above 0°C again. This is a normal function. When the VCU sees the temperature drop below 0°C then raises above 0°C and then it happens a second time within a minute, due to fluctuating temperature at the freezing mark, it will disable the CER permanently and will not allow charging again until a hard reset is done. Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : None Involved Components : Component Name 1 : VCU, ECOTRONS, ES1274A Component Description : VCU Component Part Number : 003222 Component Name 2 : ORION BMS 2 Component Description : BMS Component Part Number : 001052 Supplier Identification : Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-223 Page 4 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Component Manufacturer Name : Ecotrons LLC Address : 13115 Barton Rd Ste H Whittier California 90605 Country : United States Chronology : Beginning in January, the service team began receiving complaints from customers whose vehicles would not charge after being exposed to freezing temperatures (>0°C.) On January 13th a problem communication meeting was called to evaluate the serenity of the situation and determine the next steps for establishing a root cause. It was determined that this was a serious enough problem to place a hold on shipping any more vehicles until a root cause and remedy could be established. The electrical engineering team and the service department began investigating the defect. On February 17th it was confirmed that the VCU was disabling the CER when the temperature was below 0°C to prevent an unsafe charging situation. Once the temperature went back above 0°C the VCU enabled the CER. The defect is that if the temperature is fluctuating at 0°C it is possible for the CER to be disabled twice in a minute. The firmware was programmed to permanently disable the CER when this happens as an extra safety precaution until a hard reset could be done on the vehicle. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to contact Arcimoto to schedule a service appointment to have their firmware updated to prevent the defect from happening. There will be no charge to vehicle owners for this service. To the best of our knowledge, no owners have incurred any costs resulting from this defect. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : The new firmware will still allow the VCU to disable the CER and will prevent charging if the temperature falls below 0°C The difference is that the amount of times that the temperature goes below and above freezing during a minute will be increased and make it mathematically impossible to have the CER latch out again during fluctuating temperatures around the 0°C mark. Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : On March 11th the new firmware was confirmed and released to both service and production teams. The production department is now able to continue manufacturing the vehicles with the new firmware in place. Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Arcimoto does not intend to send any dealer or distributor notifications, as it has neither dealers nor distributors at this time.

When this happens twice in one minute it will disable the CER and prevent charging from an outlet and the kinetic energy restorative system. Once this happens charging can not happen again until a hard reset is done. FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : If an owner were to attempt to charge their vehicle overnight, not knowing the vehicle is unable to be charged due to the defect, the owner could feasibly start the vehicle and attempt to drive it. The result could be that the engine unexpectedly stalls, creating a risk of a crash. Description of the Cause : This defect is being caused because the battery is trying to prevent an unsafe charging situation. If a battery is below 0°C the VCU will turn the CER off to prevent charging below freezing. The VCU will then allow charging after the temperature is above 0°C again. This is a normal function.

(>0°C.) There were reports to the service team on. There was (1) one on 12/14/2/1, 12/15/21, 12/22/21, there were (2) two on 12/28/21, (1) one on12/30/21 and then (1) one on 1/5/22. The Arcimoto service began noticing a pattern with the customer complaints. On January 13th a problem communication meeting was called to evaluate the seriousness of the situation and to determine the next steps for establishing a root cause. It was determined that this was a serious enough problem to place a hold on shipping any more vehicles until a root cause and remedy could be established.
