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.
Brakes#2017637December 18, 2017
1,081 units affected
On certain motorcycles, a crack within the polyphenilene sulphide (PPS) piston of the front brake master cylinder could occur. This could result in the master cylinder to not be able to generate sufficient hydraulic pressure, which could lead to a loss of braking capability of the front brake, increasing stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the PPS piston with one made from aluminum.
