NHTSA recall 07V450000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Ducati North America
Details
What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, the electronic control unit (ECU) ignition timing and idle mixture were improperly set during production causing the engine speed to drop and stall the engine when the temperature of the cooling system exceeded 180f.
Why it matters: If the engine stops while the motorcycle is being driven, it could increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the ECU mapping using a dedicated diagnostic system instrument (dds) free of charge. The recall began on February 8, 2008.
