What's wrong?
The display backer board in the 2019 Arcimoto Fuv is the circuit board behind the vehicle display. It supports the display module and helps the communication and display circuits stay powered and connected while the motorcycle is in use.
On affected Fuv motorcycles, pins on the 5V regulator and other pin groups were left too long during assembly. Those pins interfere with the display's RGB ribbon cable, which carries display signals between circuit parts. When the pins contact the cable, the board can short circuit and shut down the communication and display circuit boards.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first sign is the display or communication boards shutting down when the short circuit occurs, so tell Arcimoto if the display cuts out before the recall repair is completed.
Who's affected?
Three electrical areas are listed for the same display backer board: traction battery, instrument panel, and wiring.

|---|---|

| 2019 Arcimoto Fuv | wiring |
| Units affected | 25 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged no field incidents to date. |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
A communication or display board shutdown can shut down the battery, causing sudden power loss and increasing the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before failure, so schedule the recall repair soon and use caution until the work is complete. Repair is free at any franchised Arcimoto dealer.
