- The problem
- Ducati is recalling certain model year 2012 848, streetfighter, hypermotard, multistrada, and monster motorcycles. The friction material may detach from the backing plate of the rear brake pads.

- The fix
- Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace, as necessary, the rear brake pads free of charge. The safety recall began on may 21, 2012. Owners may contact ducati at 1-800-231-6696 or go to their website at www.Ducati.Com.

Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
I went into my garage and I smelled a faint gasoline smell near my 2012 ducati 848 evo. I was cleaning it, going over it to see if I could identify the source. I never found the source of the smell but I did find a wave and a bubble on the top of the tank. This is the beginning stage of gas tank expansion. Needless to say I did not ride the motorcycle after my discovery. Faulty or defective gas tank. This is a known problem with this model (google), as it has a plastic fuel tank and not an aluminum tank. *Js
