What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the loss of critical controls (horn, turn signals, high beam) increases crash risk, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported.

Plain-English summary

Ducati North America is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 1199 Panigale and Panigale S motorcycles. The recall involves 2,083 vehicles where the left handlebar switch may not receive power from its connection at the dashboard. This defect prevents the horn, instrument panel display, high beam, and right turn signals from functioning, causing the motorcycles to fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 123.

The inability to use the horn, right turn indicators, and high beam could increase the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional wiring harness free of charge. The recall began on June 6, 2014. Owners may contact Ducati at 1-800-231-6696 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
