- The problem
- Ohlins Racing AB (Ohlins) is recalling certain steering dampers kits manufactured with an incorrectly machined bracket. These dampers were sold for use as aftermarket equipment on Yamaha R1, R6, and FZ6, Suzuki TL1000 R and GSX1300R, Honda CB600RR, and Ducati Monster 1000, 748, 848, 916, 996, and 998 motorcycles. Also included are universal steering damper kits with part numbers SD 000 through SD 005. The affected brackets may crack.
- The risk
- If there is a crack in the steering bracket, at low speeds it may cause the steering to lock, leading to personal injury or a crash.
- The fix
- Ohlins will notify the distributors and provide their customers with a new bracket. The recall began in November 2013. Owners may contact Ohlins USA at 1-828-692-4525. Note: This recall is an expansion of recall 13E-034.

Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
1St issue is when coming to a stop or at a stop like with bike in neutral, is will randomly shut off with out warning, and without an engine code. It happens 3-4 times a day. Second issue is my bike leaks fuel randomly depending on the temp of the day I notice it alot in my garage. Search online and there are a ton of forms of people experiencing the same issue.
I have a 2010 ducati 848, one day I noticed that it was leaking gasoline from the fuel overflow hose its a pretty constant drip, it probably drips once every 3-5 seconds. It does it more so when its hot and humid out. I thought it was because of the gasoline expanding in the heat when I first noticed it but it did not make a difference if the tank was full or half full. It's a big hazard because the bike is in a garage and if it gets slightly humid in there, it begins to leak and causes a lot of vapors and fumes...

making it extremely hard to breath and I'm sure if something created a spark there would be an explosion. I'm forced to open the garage door everyday first thing in the morning and close it as soon as the sun goes down. I brought it to a ducati dealer and they told me they have no idea why it would do that and that's the first they heard of it. *Tr
