2011 Ducati M796 Problems, complaints & recalls

I have a ducati monster 796. It is approximately 2-3 months old. After the first 6 weeks of riding the plastic fuel tank deformed to such a degree that fuel was leaking onto the engine casing and then to the ground in my parking garage. I was advised not to ride the bike in for repairs because the leaking fuel represented a combustion hazard. The defect posed a serious danger both to myself and other motorists on the roads of new york state. The problem has yet to be rectified by ducati north america but I have been told that the resolution to the problem will be to fit an identical fuel tank to the motorcycle that will presumably fail in a similar fashion to the first tank. *Tr
