What's wrong?
The ignition switch trim ring on the 2019 Arcimoto Fuv sits around the key switch and identifies the ignition control for the rider. Its job is simple: label the switch clearly so the rider can tell which control is the ignition and which position turns it off.
On affected Fuv motorcycles, the trim ring was produced without the required "Ignition" marking, and the off position was not labeled with the word "Off." The issue came from a mismatch between Arcimoto's production markings and its documentation. The corrected trim ring adds the "Ignition" marking and identifies the "Off" position.
This is a control-labeling defect, not a reported internal switch failure. There is no warning sign before failure. The visible issue is the missing wording on the key switch trim ring.

What's the safety risk?
Missing word labels on the key switch trim ring make the ignition and off positions less clear. That confusion can lead to operator error and increase the risk of injury or a crash. Before riding, confirm the key position carefully and schedule the trim ring replacement. Repair is free at any franchised Arcimoto dealer.
