Motorcycle Recall - Ducati

NHTSA Campaign ID:  12V053000
Component:  Fuel System, Other: Delivery: Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings
Manufacturer:  Ducati North America
Recall Date: 02/10/2012
Potential Number of Units Affected: 913
Defect Summary:
Ducati is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Hypermotard and Monster motorcycles manufactured from June 25, 2011, through November 30, 2011. The fuel lines contain micro-cracking due to insufficient drying of raw materials prior to extrusion.
Consequence Summary:
This could cause a fuel leak, which in the presence of an ignition source, may lead to a fire and increased risk of property damage or personal injury.
Corrective Summary:
Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel lines free of charge. Ducati has not yet provided the agency with an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact Ducati at 1-800-231-6696 or go to their website at www.ducati.com.
