- The problem
- Ducati is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 multistrada 1200, and model year 2011, diavel motorcycles. The electronic steering lock may fail to disengage during the motorcycle "key-on" process. This has been linked directly to a certain revision of the hands free device software. It could result in a situation where the motorcycle's engine might start while the steering lock is still engaged. A rider could start the motorcycle and attempt to ride away while the steering is still locked.
- The risk
- The rider could experience the inability to steer increasing the risk of low speed tip-over or collision, thus increasing the potential for injury to the rider.
- The fix
- The dealer will update the software of the hands free control unit free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during may 2011. Owners may contact ducati at 1-800-231-6696.
