What is wrong
Ducati North America (Ducati) is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 Multistrada 1200 motorcycles. The inner sleeve of the opening throttle cable may move and prevent the full closing of the throttle.
What could happen
If the throttle cannot be fully closed, there is an increased risk of a crash.
