Ducati Recalls 2016-2017 XDiavel Motorcycles for Side Stand Defect

Ducati is recalling 2016-2017 XDiavel motorcycles because a loose side stand screw may cause the bike to fall or the engine to stall.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural motorcycle defect (side stand failure) that can cause the vehicle to fall or stall, creating a significant risk of injury or crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural vehicle defects.

Plain-English summary

Ducati North America is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 XDiavel motorcycles manufactured between July 7, 2015, and June 22, 2016. The recall involves 1,433 vehicles.

The side stand plate lower fastening screw on these motorcycles may not be sufficiently tightened. This defect can cause the stand to fail, resulting in the bike falling over. Additionally, the loosening of the screw during normal road use could damage the side stand sensor switch, causing the engine to stall. These conditions increase the risk of injury or a crash.

Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will replace the side stand pivot and side stand plate fastening screw free of charge. The recall began on November 7, 2016. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-800-231-6696 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
