- The problem
- Ducati is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 hypermotard and monster motorcycles manufactured from june 25, 2011, through november 30, 2011. The fuel lines contain micro-cracking due to insufficient drying of raw materials prior to extrusion.
- The risk
- This could cause a fuel leak, which in the presence of an ignition source, may lead to a fire and increased risk of property damage or personal injury.
- The fix
- Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel lines free of charge. The safety recall began on march 1, 2012. Owners may contact ducati at 1-800-231-6696 or go to their website at www.Ducati.Com.
