Ducati Recalls Multistrada Motorcycles Due to Side-Stand Defect

Ducati is recalling 2015-2016 Multistrada 1200 and 1200 S motorcycles because the side-stand may break, causing the bike to fall over and increasing injury risk.

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 structural defect (side-stand) that could cause the motorcycle to fall over, creating a risk of injury to the rider or passenger, but no injuries or deaths have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Ducati North America is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Multistrada 1200 and 1200 S motorcycles manufactured between December 1, 2014, and June 11, 2015. The recall affects 869 vehicles in the United States.

The defect involves the side-stand, which may break due to an incorrect length of the side-stand support tube. If the side-stand breaks, the motorcycle would fall over, increasing the risk of injury to the rider and/or the passenger.

Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will replace the side-stand support tubes, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 5, 2015. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-800-231-6696 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
