Ducati is recalling 2010-2014 Multistrada 1200 motorcycles because a moving throttle cable sleeve may prevent the throttle from closing fully, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (throttle control) that creates an increased risk of a crash, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe rating.
