05- Seats And Restraints#2023666
561 units affected
Issue: On certain motorcycles, the passenger backrest could crack and break if it is used incorrectly or was not installed correctly. If this happens, a passenger could suddenly lose back support. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of back support could increase the risk of a crash or injury. Corrective Actions: Ducati will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your motorcycle to a dealership to inspect the installation of the passenger backrest. The dealer will adjust it, as necessary, and install a warning sticker to inform how to properly use the backrest.
- Brakes#2021274
1,037 units affected
Issue: On certain motorcycles, air may seep into the rear brake system over time. If this happens, there could be reduced rear braking. Safety Risk: Reduced braking could cause an extended stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Ducati will notify owners by mail and instruct you take your motorcycle to a dealer to install a new rear brake hose.
- Structure#2021090
308 units affected
Issue: On certain motorcycles, the side stand may break. If this happens, the motorcycle could fall over while it is parked. Safety Risk: A motorcycle that falls over could create a risk of injury to nearby people. Corrective Actions: Ducati will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to replace the side stand, side stand bracket and locking plate.
- Brakes#2017637
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.
- Powertrain#2016472
224 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the final drive pulley retaining nut and the side stand plate fastening screw could loosen over time. If the final drive pulley nut becomes loose, the countershaft could spin on the belt primary drive pulley resulting in loss of power transmission to the rear wheel. If the lower side stand plate screw were to loosen, it could damage the side stand sensor switch, resulting in an engine stall, or if the bike were to be parked on the side stand, the side stand plate could deform/ break due to the excessive overload, causing the bike to fall. Both of these conditions could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the lower side stand plate fastening screw with a more resistant screw in order to increase the tightening torque, and install a new washer made with a harder material, and will tighten the final drive pulley retaining nut to an higher torque.
