It hasn’t been available for long, but the 2016 Ducati XDiavel S has been recalled for a possible assembly fault with the rear wheel.
Ducati has advised it’s possible the rear wheel rim might have been installed in the wrong way, with the 4 rear wheel shaft driving pins inserted in the slots rather than in the 4 relevant holes.
If the wheel rim has been installed incorrectly it may result in noise from the rear wheel, and possible loss of traction of the vehicle during use.
This could then pose a crash hazard to the rider and other road users.
Owners are being told they should contact an authorised Ducati Dealership to arrange inspection and repairs.
Also being recalled is the 2014 model 1199 Superleggera for a potential clutch issue.
A possible fault in the clutch assembly could cause one of the clutch components to break, increasing the risk of rear wheel lock up while riding.
Ducati has contacted owners directly on this recall and has instructed them to contact their nearest Ducati authorised dealer for repair.
