NHTSA recall 11V253000
Steering · Ducati North America
Details
What's wrong: 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.
Why it matters: 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.
