NHTSA recall 09V142000
Electrical System · Ducati North America
Details
What's wrong: The main wiring harness may come in contact with the vertical cylinder head and exhaust pipe possibly resulting in damage to the motorcycle and a potential hazard to the rider.
Why it matters: Any damage to the harness may lead to loss of functionality of the motorcycle's lighting system or an unexpected loss of engine performance, and thereby increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will check for interference between the main wiring harness and the vertical cylinder head and exhaust pipe. Dealers will reposition and fasten the main wiring harness to the frame free of charge. The recall began on May 11, 2009.
