Details

What's wrong: The fuel lines contain micro-cracking due to insufficient drying of raw materials prior to extrusion.

Why it matters: This could cause a fuel leak, which in the presence of an ignition source, may lead to a fire and increased risk of property damage or personal injury.

The fix: Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel lines free of charge. The safety recall began on March 1, 2012.
