What this means for you

Plain-English summary

Ducati North America is recalling certain model year 2012 Ducati motorcycles, including the 848, Streetfighter, Hypermotard, Multistrada, and Monster models. The recall involves the rear brake pads, where the friction material may detach from the backing plate.

If the friction material detaches, there would be a sudden loss of rear brake efficiency. This condition increases the stopping distance and increases the risk of a crash.

Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the rear brake pads free of charge as necessary. The safety recall began on May 21, 2012. Owners may contact Ducati at 1-800-231-6696 or visit www.ducati.com for more information.
