Arcimoto recall: Steering
What is wrong
Arcimoto Inc. (Arcimoto) is recalling certain 2023 FUV and MUV hybrid electric motorcycles. There may be insufficient thread engagement between the inner and outer tie rods, possibly resulting in the separation of the tie rod assembly.
What could happen
Tie rod separation can cause a sudden loss of steering control and increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Arcimoto will inspect and adjust the tie rods, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 30, 2023. Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293.
