Transport Canada recalls

Engine#2019474September 26, 2019
75 units affected
Issue: On certain motorcycles, engine oil could enter the airbox through the crankcase pressure system. In rare cases, this could cause an oil leak near the rear tire. Safety Risk: An oil leak near the rear tire may reduce traction and could cause a loss of control that may result in a crash. Corrective Actions: Ducati will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the crankcase pressure system. A valve will be installed if necessary.
Powertrain#2016247May 24, 2016
10 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the damper plate assembled between the primary driven gear and the clutch basket assembly may fatigue and break. If this occurs, part of the assembly could become displaced and could result in the engine stalling. Lost propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the rider's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the clutch assembly with a new redesigned component.
Suspension#2015186May 6, 2015
9 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the rear shock absorber may not have been manufactured correctly. The piston rod nut may have been tightened before the piston had the correct full metal-to-metal contact. This could result in the nut loosening, which would prevent proper rear suspension action, and could cause poor handling that may result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will send the rear shock assembly to the supplier’s repair facility or replace the rear shock absorber with a new part supplied by Ducati.

U.S. NHTSA recalls

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY#16V339000May 23, 2016
Ducati North America (Ducati) is recalling certain model year 2014 1199 Superleggera motorcycles manufactured April 8, 2014, through November 13, 2014. On the affected motorcycles, the damper plate assembled between the primary driven gear and the clutch basket assembly could break due to fatigue, and result in the engine seizing, and therefore, the rear wheel locking up.
Risk: A rear wheel lock up may cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will install a new clutch assembly, free of charge. The recall began on July 11, 2016. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-800-231-6696. Ducati's number for this recall is SRV-RCL-16-002.
SUSPENSION:REAR:SHOCK ABSORBER#15V268000May 8, 2015
Ducati North America (Ducati) is recalling certain model year 2014 1199 Panigale S version, 1199 Superleggera and 1199 Panigale R version motorcycles. The affected motorcycles may have been built with an improperly manufactured rear shock absorber. The nut on the damper rod for these shock absorbers may loosen, resulting in a loss of damping and the possible disassembling of the shock.
Risk: If the damper rod nut loosens, shock absorber performance would be affected, possibly causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will either replace the rear shock assembly or send the shock to the supplier's repair center to be remedied, free of charge. The recall began on June 29, 2015. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-800-231-6696. Ducati's number for this recall is RCL-15-002.
