Ducati Recalls 2018 Multistrada 1260 Motorcycles Due to Side Stand Defect

Ducati is recalling 2018 Multistrada 1260 motorcycles because the side stand may be improperly welded. If the stand breaks, the motorcycle may fall over, increasing injury 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 defect (improperly welded side stand) that could cause the motorcycle to fall over, increasing the risk of injury. This aligns with the rubric criterion for 'structural vehicle defect' or 'significant injury/property-damage reports' (potential for significant injury).
