What's wrong?
The certification label on a 2017-2018 Arcimoto Fuv is the factory information sticker that identifies the vehicle and confirms it was built under federal certification rules. It gives inspectors, service staff, and owners a quick way to verify the vehicle's official compliance information.
On affected Fuv motorcycles, Arcimoto built the vehicle without that label installed. The filing ties the problem to Arcimoto not recognizing the certification-label requirement during production. Nothing in the recall points to a broken motor, brake part, steering part, or battery component. The defect is that the required label was missing from the vehicle.
There is no warning sign before failure because this is a missing-label issue, not a part that wears out or changes how the motorcycle feels while riding. An owner would notice it only by inspecting the vehicle for the certification label or having Arcimoto confirm whether the VIN is included in recall 18V936.
Who's affected?

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
A missing certification label can make it harder for an owner to confirm whether a safety recall applies to the motorcycle. That missed recall check can leave an unrepaired safety issue in use and increase the risk of injury or crash. Schedule the remedy soon. Repair is free at any franchised Arcimoto dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017-2018 Arcimoto Fuv is included in this recall.
- Contact Arcimoto customer service at 1-541-683-6293 to schedule the free replacement with a fully compliant motorcycle.
- Bring the recall notice if Arcimoto provided one, and reference recall number 18V936 when you call.
- Use the VIN check for recall confirmation because the missing certification label affects recall identification.
What happens at the repair

An Arcimoto technician replaces the noncompliant motorcycle with a fully compliant vehicle. The replacement is free under recall 18V936, with parts, labor, and the compliant vehicle covered.
