• Recall 77229 [USA]: 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.
  Ducati is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 multistrada 1200, and model year 2011, diavel motorcycles. 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.
  the dealer will update the software of the hands free control unit free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during may 2011. Owners may contact ducati at 1-800-231-6696.

The motorcycle has stalled four times in the last 5 months. Typically stalls when down-shifting. The last time it stalled, i was weaving through traffic and when the bike stalled, there was a car right on my rear (scared me to death) - luckily i was able to steer into the median (and there was no obstacles in the median). I've asked my dealer to look into it. They have not been able to reproduce the problem. I am not the only one having this problem. There is a forum with 23 pages of threads on this topic. Also, ducati had a recall on the multistrada for the same issue. The multistrada is the same engine as the diavel. *tr

Engine cuts out ( stalls ) on highway in 6th gear, when clutch is pulled in and throttle is closed. This problem happens intermittantly and without warning. *tt please see this link, there are many others having the same problem. Http://www.Diavel-forum.Com/index.Php?/topic/377-diavel-stalling/

My 2011 diavel continues to stall intermittently, always while depressing the clutch lever as i intent to slow down or stop (closed throttle). Presently my motorcycle has 9562 miles, is 9 months old. Over this period of time this problems has happened at least 20 to 30 times (2 to 3 times per month). I have written to ducati customer service, but did not receive any reply. Interestingly, the problem appears to be electrical in nature, and what is more odd is that for me, most, if not all stalls have occurred at night, when the headlights are running, so not only does the loss of engine power is of concern, but the fact that it is accompanied by the loss of visibility (lights) to other vehicles around me, as my tail lights and head lights go off until i restart the engine. Another interesting fact is that i have also experienced a half dozen near stalls, where while the engine does not stall, my headlights momentarily flicker (go off and then back on) when i depressed the clutch in order to down shift. Hence my suspicion that the problem may electrical in nature. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ducati diavel. The contact stated the bolts that hold the rear tail light assembly in place came loose. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and a replacement assembly was ordered. The dealer did not say what may have caused the bolts to fail. The contact was concerned about the safety risk because the light assembly rested on the tail pipe and melted. The failure and current mileage was 400. Lights assembly held to bike by wires only.
