Plain-English summary

Ducati North America is recalling certain model year 2016 XDiavel S motorcycles manufactured between November 25, 2015, and May 18, 2016. The recall involves 925 vehicles where the rear wheel may have been incorrectly installed on the hub.

If the rear wheel is incorrectly installed, the drive pins may fail. This failure can result in a loss of braking and a loss of power transmission from the engine, which increases the risk of a crash.

These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on June 16, 2016. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-800-231-6696 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
