Service bulletin SB-21-001

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

Arcimoto is investigating certain 2019-2021 D-Deliverators, E-Rapid Responders, R-Roadsters, and T-FUVs with customer complaints of unintended torque vectoring during throttle use (acceleration) and KERS use (regen). To better understand the cause of this condition, Arcimoto would like to inspect, and, if needed, collect specific parts from the vehicle at your earliest convenience and prior to you attempting a repair of any kind.

Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component
SB-22-0012022-03-11. Service bulletin. A problem was discovered in service where multiple vehicles have had an issue recharging if the Battery temperature falls below 0C°. This potentially affects all 2019-2022 D-Deliverators, E-Rapid Responders, R-Roadsters, and T-FUVs. When this occurs there is a fault that requires a hard reset to restore the vehicle. When the fault occurs, loss of regenerative braking. The root cause was confirmed that the Charger Enabled Relay (CER) was latching out when CCL drops below 0A more than 2 times in a minute. This was being caused by battery temperature dropping to 0°C, or state of charge rising to 100%.There will be new firmware updates made available. Customers will need to bring their vehicles in to have the new firmware updated.
SB-20-0032020-07-04. Service bulletin. Arcimoto is investigating certain 2019-2020 FUVs with customer complaints of loss of traction-power and/or reduced speed/acceleration. To better understand the cause of this condition, Arcimoto would like to inspect, and, if needed, collect specific parts from the vehicle at your earliest convenience and prior to you attempting a repair of any kind.
SB-20-0012020-07-02. Service bulletin. On-board charger for traction-power battery may experience reduced reliability or life-span. When the charger is being operated, then the vehicle necessarily is stationary and not being operated on a public road/ highway. Therefore, at this time there is no data to suggest a regulatory or safety issue that would require a recall.
