Ducati Recalls 2017-2018 Supersport Motorcycles for Fuel Hose Fire Risk

Ducati is recalling 2017-2018 Supersport motorcycles because fuel hoses may melt near the exhaust, causing a fuel leak and fire risk.

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 vehicle defect (hose routing) that creates a significant fire risk, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating.

Plain-English summary

Ducati North America is recalling certain 2017-2018 Ducati Supersport and Supersport S motorcycles. The recall involves 1,462 vehicles where the airbox blow-by and fuel tank overfill hoses may be routed too close to the exhaust manifold. This proximity may cause the hoses to melt.

If the hoses melt, it can cause a fuel leak, which increases the risk of a fire. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

The recall began on July 6, 2018. Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the hose routing and correct it as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-888-391-5446 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
