Ducati North America (Ducati) is recalling certain 2015-2018 1299 motorcycles (including STD, S, FE and SL models), Monster 1200 motorcycles (including S and R models), Multistrada motorcycles (including S and PP models), 2015-2017 Panigale R, 2016-2018 XDaviel S motorcycles and 2017-2018 Scrambler 800 Café Racer motorcycles. These motorcycles are equipped with Brembo front brake master cylinders that may fail.
If the front brake master cylinder fails, the loss of front braking ability can increase the risk of a crash.
Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front brake master cylinder piston, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin February 15, 2018. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-800-231-6696.

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.
