• 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.

During normal operation, driving straight down the street at about 40mph, the engine shut down. When i pulled to the side, and turned the ignition back on, fuel poured from under the tank. What had happened was that the connection between the fuel line and the pump had disconnected. When i turned the ignition back on, the fuel pump primed, spewing the gasoline down the side of the bike, over the engine. The part did not appear broken, but when i was able to get to it, i could reconnect it, but it would come back apart very easily. It seemed to be a faulty part. The bike was towed back to the dealer. It had approximately 120 miles on the odometer, brand new. The attached image shows the part disconnected. I have seen this problem reported by about 6 other people on a ducati scrambler forum.
