• High voltage connector issue. Recall 22V507000 affects 581 vehicles due to the high voltage control board cover preventing the connector from latching properly. This may detach and cause a sudden loss of power steering and drive power, increasing crash risk. Arcimoto will replace the control board cover free of charge.

• Battery shutdown due to firmware. Recall 21V242000 affects 252 vehicles with inverter firmware that allows battery shutdown without warning, leading to loss of motive power and increased crash risk. Owners will receive a free firmware update.
• Seat belt retractor defect. Recall 21V314000 covers 255 vehicles where cracked spool sleeves block seat belt retraction, increasing injury risk. Seat belt retractors will be replaced free of charge.
• Inverter communication timeout. Recall 21V311000 impacts 261 vehicles with software errors causing inverter communication timeouts and unexpected battery shutdowns, resulting in sudden power loss. Firmware will be reprogrammed at no cost. Vehicles previously fixed under Recall 19V834 need a new remedy.
• Steering angle sensor calibration. Recall 21V307000 includes 261 vehicles where the Steering Angle Sensor may fail or incorrectly detect faults, causing unequal torque and oversteer, increasing crash risk. Firmware updates and idler arm replacements will be performed free of charge.
