Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
The fuel tank is swelling. And deforming. The part that is swelling is rubbing against a frame piece. Ducati is well aware of this issue and refuses to do anything about it. I took the bike to the dealer and they called ducati, the claim was denied due to length of time. Fuel tank issues should not be capped. This could have a potential of rupture or fire.
