Arcimoto headlights on the motorcycles may be spaced too far apart to appear as a motorcycle to oncoming traffic.
The short version
Arcimoto Inc reported a problem with the exterior lighting headlights. Here is what owners need to know.
The headlights on the motorcycles may be spaced too far apart to appear as a motorcycle to oncoming traffic. As a result, the motorcycles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated Equipment."
Due to the improperly positioned headlamps, the vehicle may not be recognizable as a motorcycle in the dark, increasing the risk of crash.
Arcimoto will replace the headlights with supplemental amber marker lights and add fully compliant headlights to the center of the vehicle, mounted to the frame, free of charge.
