• Recall RM/2018/001 [UK]: The floating piston in the front brake master cylinder may crack
  Because of a manufacturing fault the floating piston in the front brake master cylinder may crack under high stress conditions typical of track use frequent abs interventions or if a machine is dropped. This could reduce the efficiency of the front brake.
  on affected machines replace the floating piston in the front brake master cylinder with a modified version.

• Recall RM/2017/010 [UK]: Fuel may leak
  A fuel leak could occur at the retaining nut for the fuel sensor on the fuel tank which in adverse circumstances can lead to a potential fire risk. The loss of fuel from the fuel tank could occur both whilst riding and when parked.
  recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel tank.

• Recall 2015459 [Canada]: Structure
  On certain motorcycles, the side-stand support tube may have an improper weld in the area that joins the support tube to the forged upper part of the side-stand. This could result in the side-stand breaking at that weld, which could cause the motorcycle to fall over, increasing the risk of injury to the rider and/or passenger. Correction: dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the side-stand support tube with a new part.

Inconsistent (mostly poor) rear brake performance in all conditions.

My 2016 multistrada experiences inconsistent braking with the rear brake, extended stopping distance with the rear brake and unexpected soft rear brake pedal when applying the brakes. I am unable to rely on the rear brake to function at any time or speed while the vehicle is in motion. This has been an ongoing issue since i purchased the bike approximately 1 year ago, and for the 3,000 miles i have used it.

The rear brake on this motorcycle is virtually useless. Even after having it serviced at the dealer and brake fluid flushed and replaced the rear brake is still extremely weak compared to all other motorcycles i've owned or ridden. I have been told this is due to the master cylinder and brake lines being too close to the exhaust; i have also been told this is due to the brake pedal and master cylinder being mounted on separate components and heat cycles cause the adjustment to go in and out of spec. Whatever the reason the rear brake is virtually useless. On dry pavement it is extremely difficult to brake hard enough with the rear brake to engage abs and the rear brake therefore contributes very little to the stopping power of the motorcycle overall. Luckily i noticed this early on and have not had an accident and so have no police report to include here. This is an ongoing issue since i bought the motorcycle with 10498 miles on the odometer.

For the last 6 months my 2016 multistrada fuel gauge shows the fuel tank as empty regardless of actual fuel level. Occasionally it will show a quantity, but the quantity is not correct (shows full with a half tank of fuel, or shows 2/3 empty immediate after filling up). After a few minutes, it will revert back to showing empty. The behavior is constant, and not affected by fuel level, temperature, or other factors. Without the gauge, there is no indication when fuel level is low. The low-fuel warining light is illuminated constantly. Ducati multistradas from my2015 on (as well as the ducati diavel and xdiavel) have a well known, repetitive failure of the fuel sender causing an empty indication. This has occurred with thousands of multistradas and diavels, and it a topic of much consternation in the ducati community. Ducati is on at least the fifth revision of the sender, but is refusing to replace defective units on motorcycles out of warranty. Many owners have had the sender replaced multiple times under warranty, followed by failure after warranty expiration, with ducati refusing to repair them further. Due to the criticality of fuel gauge function, this should be elevated to a recall to force ducati to design a permanent fix, and then replace the defective units. They have continued to sell new motorcycles with a known defective sender, and simply refuse to address it after the warranty ends.

Not sure if the last complaint went through so he i go again. My motorcycle has two manufactured defects. The motorcycle overheats in city traffic causing the motorcycle to shut off because the computer and the motorcycle engine get too hot. This also causes other issues because the motorcycle always runs hot. The clutch fluid can boil and seals fail on the clutch slave cylinder. Mine went at 6000 miles leaking fluid causing me to have no ability to shift the motorcycle due to a design flaw. Please investigate these two flaws before someone gets hurt or killed on these ducati motorcycles. The problem is well known. I have a scheduled repair providing the dealership and the manufacturer do something. Probably get the same faulty part installed but new version of them. Overheating problem probably won't ever get fixed.

Have had to have the brakes bleed twice a year since purchasing .Rear brake fades and is almost non existent, worse as the bike heats up numerous times have been to the dealer and have been told this is normal for a ducati.I do not feel safe , and dread the day when i really need them.

I had been riding down the freeway for around 50 min and the motorcycle had been all ok. I tried to apply the front brakes and nothing happened. I managed to somehow stop without incident using the rear brake. When i pulled over i found the from brake line had completely failed on the right hand side.
