Ducati Recalls Motorcycles Due to Rear Brake System Air Ingress

Ducati is recalling specific 2016-2020 models because air may enter the rear brake system, reducing braking effectiveness and 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 in the braking system that increases the risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Ducati North America is recalling certain 2017-2020 Monster 797, Monster 1200, Supersport, 2016-2020 XDiavel, and 2018-2020 Monster 821 motorcycles. The recall involves 5,909 vehicles.

The defect is that air may permeate the rear brake system. This air can reduce the effectiveness of the rear brakes, which increases the distance required to stop the motorcycle and raises the risk of a crash.

Dealers will install new rear brake hoses free of charge to correct the issue. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 28, 2021. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-888-391-5446 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
