• Recall 2016613 [Canada]: Structure
  On certain motorcycles, the threads of the side stand pivot bolt may be too short to engage in the locking nut, potentially allowing the side stand pivot to become loose. As a result, the side stand sensor switch may no longer detect the proper position of the stand. This could cause the motorcycle to fail to start while parked, or could cause the engine to stall while the motorcycle is in motion. Additionally, it may be possible to start the engine and begin riding with the stand down. These conditions could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace the side stand pivot bolt with a new revised version that has a longer threaded portion. Additionally, the torque of the side stand pivot bolt will be increased, and threadlock will be applied.

• Recall 2017637 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain motorcycles, a crack within the polyphenilene sulphide (pps) piston of the front brake master cylinder could occur. This could result in the master cylinder to not be able to generate sufficient hydraulic pressure, which could lead to a loss of braking capability of the front brake, increasing stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace the pps piston with one made from aluminum.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ducati scrambler motorcycle. When the vehicle was shifted into higher gears, the vehicle made abnormal noises and went into neutral without warning. The failure recurred several times. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 500.

Front brake pulses at low speed braking causing control problems with motorcycle. The motorcycle was returned to dealer in the fall of 2016 for repair but issue was not fixed. Currently still waiting for weeks for warranty authorization.

My vehicle at the time of the incident had 350 miles on the odometer. As i was driving down the street i felt a liquid splash onto my left foot and leg. At this same time i noticed the engine cut off and i was coasting without power. I quickly avoided traffic and pulled over to the side of the road. As i was unsure what liquid was on my foot and leg, i shut off the ignition key and turned it back on to witness the system trying to prime the fuel injection which caused gasoline to pour out the left side, from underneath the gas tank and onto the hot engine. I am glad the hot engine did not ignite the gasoline and cause a fire.

I picked the motorcycle up from having throttle cable replaced, and rode it home about 75 miles. I went out the next morning, and when i started it the fuel pump was making a loud noise. I ran it a bit and the fuel pump was whining the whole time. I took the bike back to the dealer, and they advised the fuel pump was "functioning, but failing." they said they replaced the fuel pump and the seals inside the tank. I picked the bike up on 8/28/15 and rode it about 150 more miles through 9/2/15. On 9/2/15, the bike stalled, and wouldn't start back up. Then i started smelling gas, i look down and gas is literally pouring out from beneath the gas tank. The bike is now being picked up tomorrow by the dealer to be serviced for a second time of a similar issue within a week. The bike is not yet 2 months old, and currently has about 1150 miles.

I was riding the motorcycle when fuel started dripping down on the engine and my legs.
