NHTSA recall 06V485000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Ducati North America
Details
What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, the fuel sending unit wiring cables installed during production could be routed incorrectly possibly coming in contact with the exhaust pipes.
Why it matters: This condition will burn out the cables insulation and cause a possible electrical short circuit stopping the fuel pump and consequently stopping the engine. If the engine stops while the motorcycle is being driven, it could increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the fuel sending unit wiring cables and reposition them if necessary. The recall began on January 17, 2007.
