Details
What's wrong: On the affected motorcycles, the damper plate assembled between the primary driven gear and the clutch basket assembly could break due to fatigue, and result in the engine seizing, and therefore, the rear wheel locking up.
Why it matters: A rear wheel lock up may cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will install a new clutch assembly, free of charge. The recall began on July 11, 2016.
