Why it matters: Any damage to the fuel line may lead to an increased risk of fire or an unexpected loss of engine performance, the thereby increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the affected injector components free of charge. The safety recall began on June 3, 2009. To locate your nearest authorized ducati dealer, you may go to www.ducatiusa.com and select the "dealer locator" or you may call toll free at 1-800-231-6696.
