Issue: On certain motorcycles, the wrong front and rear turn signals were installed at the factory. As a result, the turn signals are too small, and do not meet Canadian regulations.

Corrective Actions: Ducati will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to replace the front and rear turn signals.
