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.

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.
