## What is wrong

Arcimoto, Inc \(Arcimoto\) is recalling certain 2017\-2018 FUV motorcycles.  The combination brake light, tail light, and turn signal assembly does not have a reflex reflector in the side\-facing surfaces.  As such these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and Associated Equipment."


## What can happen

Without rear side reflex reflectors, the vehicle may have less visibility from the side, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Arcimoto has notified all affected owners and the motorcycles are within the manufacturer's control.  Arcimoto will add a reflex reflector to each side of the vehicle, free of charge.  Owners may contact Arcimoto customer service at 1\-541\-683\-6293.  Arcimoto's number for this recall is 7F7\-H6Y7W\-12.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
