2021 ARCIMOTO ROADSTER Complaints and Recall Information

The 2021 ARCIMOTO ROADSTER has 0 complaints and 18 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to vehicle power loss, braking system malfunctions, and electrical system errors according to the recall information available.

A total of 18 recalls affect various systems of the vehicle including propulsion, electrical components, brakes, and steering. These recalls primarily address risks involving sudden loss of power, brake light malfunction, and steering calibration problems.

• High voltage connector. (Recall 22V507000) 581 vehicles affected. The high voltage control board cover may block proper latching of the high voltage connector. This can cause disconnection resulting in sudden loss of power steering and drive power, increasing crash risk. The fix involves replacing the HV control board cover at no charge.
• Brake pressure switch corrosion. (Recall 22V175000) 541 vehicles affected. Exposure to salt and de-icers may corrode the brake pressure switch causing brake lights to stay on continuously. Constant brake light illumination may confuse other drivers, elevating crash risk. The repair includes inspection and application of dielectric grease on the brake pressure switch.
• Battery shutdown via inverter firmware. (Recall 21V242000) 252 vehicles affected. Firmware may cause battery shutdown without warning, leading to loss of motive power and increased risk of crash. Owners are notified to update firmware free of charge.
• Inverter communication timeout. (Recall 21V311000) 261 vehicles affected. Software error in communication between inverters may cause unexpected battery shutdown and immediate power loss, increasing crash risk. Remedy includes reprogramming inverter firmware at no cost.
• Steering angle sensor calibration. (Recall 21V307000) 261 vehicles affected. Incorrect calibration may cause sensor failure or incorrect fault detection, potentially resulting in unequal torque application and oversteer. Firmware update and idler arm replacement provided free.

Owners dealing with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues related to safety-critical defects may want to review their rights under state lemon laws. Legal counsel can assist in determining eligibility for remedies when defects persist after multiple repair attempts.
