Ducati Recalls XDiavel Motorcycles for Loose Final Drive Pulley Nut

Ducati is recalling 2016-2017 XDiavel motorcycles because a loose final drive pulley nut may cause loss of power to the rear wheel, 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 (driveline) that may result in a loss of power transmission to the rear wheel, increasing the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects.
