Details

What's wrong: These motorcycles were produced with incorrect certification labels. Incorrect tire rim data is printed on these labels. A tire size of 120/70 zr mt 3.5x17 rim at 32.7 psi cold, and 170/c0 zr mt 5.50x17 rim at 36.9 psi cold. The proper rim size is mt 3.50x17 and mt 4.50x17.

Why it matters: Incorrect tire inflation could occur increasing the risk of a tire failure and possible vehicle crash.

The fix: A new certification data label will be mailed to owners for installation on their motorcycles. If the owner desires, a ducati dealer can install this label for them.
