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.

Service brakes, May 18, 2024
Spontaneous rear brake failure!!! No leaks are seen and fluid reservoir is full. May be related to master cylinder. I will bring my motorcycle to the Ducati dealer next week for inspection/service.

Rear brake pedal frequently exhibits excessive travel to the point the rear brake is useless. The remedy is to flush with fresh fluid, which will last from a day to a week, depending on ambient temperature and miles ridden.
