What's wrong?
The instrument cluster display on the 2019 Arcimoto Fuv is the screen that shows the rider key operating information. It is part of the motorcycle controls and displays system, so the rider depends on it to stay readable while the vehicle is in use.
On affected Fuv motorcycles, electrical interference inside the wiring harnesses and electronic modules can corrupt the display. Arcimoto traced the problem to several electrical paths, including radio antenna signal interference, a wiper motor power surge, display software vulnerability, and a graphics processor brownout, which means the chip that draws the screen loses enough power to misbehave. When that happens, the screen can intermittently go blank and the rider loses the information it is supposed to show.
There is no warning sign before failure. The display can appear normal, then go blank while the motorcycle is being operated.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Arcimoto technician installs a flyback damping diode on the outside of the wiper motor to block power surges. The technician also adds filter and surge protection for the display backer board or inline display circuit, then installs Check RAM Corruption software to help the display resist electrical noise. Parts, software, and labor are covered under the recall. Arcimoto has a general reimbursement plan on file, so owners who already paid for related display or wiper motor electrical repairs should ask customer service how to submit documentation for repayment.
