Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Ducati North America is recalling certain 2021 Streetfighter V4 and Streetfighter V4 S motorcycles. The recall involves 156 vehicles that are currently in dealer inventory. The defect involves the generator rotor (flywheel), which may break and damage the generator cover, causing oil to leak from the engine.

The leaking oil may drip into the path of the rear tire, which increases the risk of a crash. No injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text.

Dealers will inspect the production dates on the generator rotors and replace them as necessary. The recall began on August 12, 2020. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-888-391-5446 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
