Ducati recall: Fuel system, other
What is wrong
Ducati is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 hypermotard and monster motorcycles manufactured from june 25, 2011, through november 30, 2011. The fuel lines contain micro-cracking due to insufficient drying of raw materials prior to extrusion.
What could happen
This could cause a fuel leak, which in the presence of an ignition source, may lead to a fire and increased risk of property damage or personal injury.
The fix
Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel lines free of charge. The safety recall began on march 1, 2012. Owners may contact ducati at 1-800-231-6696 or go to their website at www.ducati.com.
