Chronology :

Beginning on 12/14/21, the service team started to receive emails and phone calls about vehicles being unable to charge. There were field reports on 12/15/21, 12/22/21, there were (2) two on 12/28/21, (1) one on 12/30/21 and then (1) one on 1/5/22. The Arcimoto service department notified the Regulatory and Quality Departments and on January 13th a problem communication meeting was called to begin evaluating the situation so that a root cause could be established and a remedy found. Until the severity of the known issue could be evaluated a hold on shipping was requested. The electrical engineering team and the service department continued investigating the defect. On 2/17/21 it was confirmed that the VCU was sending a message to the BMS and disabling the CER whenever the temperature was below 0°C. The research went on to show that once the temperature went back above 0°C the VCU would have the BMS re-enable the CER. The problem was that this defect was causing the CER to be disabled twice in a minute if the temperature changed above/below freezing more than twice in a minute. The firmware was programmed to disable the CER as an extra safety feature. This however disabled all charging until a hard reset could be done on the vehicle. On April 4th Arcimoto discussed with NHTSA representatives the potential safety risk. At that time it was discussed that an operator of the vehicle could possibly not check battery charge after a night of non-charging and try to drive, due to the defect. This could result in a operator becoming stranded in a dangerous situation that would leave the vehicle in a vulnerable state which would increase the risk of a crash. There was internal discussion regarding the safety risk for this defect and if it would filed as a TSB or recall. After discussing with NHTSA staff on April 4th 2022 Arcimoto filed the part 573 report for a safety recall.
