What's wrong?
The high-voltage harness on the 2019 Arcimoto Fuv is the wiring path that carries electrical power through the traction system. Its braided shielding is meant to protect the harness and control electrical noise while staying away from conductors that carry power. When it is positioned correctly, the shield is not part of the powered circuit.
On affected Fuv vehicles, the braided shield was positioned incorrectly during assembly. It can contact a non-ground conductor and create a short in the high-voltage system. That short can blow the main fuse, which cuts traction power and leaves the vehicle without drive power.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue was found during final inspection as a ground fault in the high-voltage system, not through an owner-visible symptom. If your Fuv loses traction power, the high-voltage harness and main fuse are the parts the dealer needs to inspect under recall 19V791.

What's the safety risk?

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019 Arcimoto Fuv is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Arcimoto dealer to schedule the free high-voltage harness inspection and replacement, if needed.
- Bring the recall notice if Arcimoto has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 19V791 when you call.
- Avoid unnecessary trips until the dealer inspects the harness shielding that can short and cut traction power.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Arcimoto technician inspects the high voltage harness and replaces it when the shielding or routing needs correction. The inspection, replacement part, and labor are free under the recall. Arcimoto has a general reimbursement plan on file for owners who paid out of pocket for a related harness repair before the recall notice. Bring repair paperwork and payment documentation to the service desk, or contact Arcimoto customer service to ask how to submit the claim.
