3 complaints about the 2016 Ducati Diavel
Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
Rear brakes completely fade and are useless over a period of months. Bleeding the brake line works for a short period but is timely and costly. The current set up allows excessive heat from the exhaust and possibly catalytic converter to boil brake fluid. This is a known issue that may require intervention. *Tr
There is a chronic problem with the rear brake becoming unusable. The brake line passes much too close to the catalytic converter, which vaporizes the brake fluid and creates a gas pocket in the line. This renders the brakes unusable. Draining the line requires removing the rear wheel (a huge job on a ducati) and caliper. The problem returns almost immediately. They have serviced it several times, but each time it immediately fails again. It is very unsafe.
