Reported May 8, 2015 · Ducati North America

Potentially affected: 549 vehicles

Repair completion: 71.4% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)

Ducati campaign RCL-15-002 · Owners notified June 29, 2015 · Vehicles built January 1, 2014 – March 23, 2015 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

Ducati North America (Ducati) is recalling certain model year 2014 1199 Panigale S version, 1199 Superleggera and 1199 Panigale R version motorcycles. The affected motorcycles may have been built with an improperly manufactured rear shock absorber. The nut on the damper rod for these shock absorbers may loosen, resulting in a loss of damping and the possible disassembling of the shock.

Safety consequence

If the damper rod nut loosens, shock absorber performance would be affected, possibly causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will either replace the rear shock assembly or send the shock to the supplier's repair center to be remedied, free of charge. The recall began on June 29, 2015. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-800-231-6696. Ducati's number for this recall is RCL-15-002.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

GOOD DAY, I AM NOT ATTEMPTING TO BE A JERK HERE HOWEVER SOMEONE REALLY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THE DUCATI 1299S, 1299, 1199 AND OTHER DUCATIS. I JUST PURCHASED A BRAND NEW DUCATI WITH 1 MILE ON IT AND THE MOTORCYCLE CUTS OF DURING LOW SPEED TURNS AND CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ENJURY TO SOMEONE OR REALTY. I FIGURED IT WAS JUST MY BIKE SO I WAS GOING TO TAKE IT BACK TO DUCATI DUE TO THE FACT I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND PAID 25K FOR THIS BIKE. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND IT'S A COMMON ISSUE DUCATI OWNERS HAVE HAD NO HELP WITH FROM SAFETY COMPANIES OR DEALERSHIPS. LIKE I SAID I'M NOT LOOKING FOR A PAY DAY OR TRYING TO BE A JERK I'M SIMPLY WRITING THIS SO I CAN SAVE SOMEONE'S MOTHER, FATHER, DAUTHETER OR SON FROM BEING KILLED. THE BIKE TURNS OFF EVEN WHEN THE CLUTCH IS FULLY PULLED IN. IT'S WILD JUST LOOK INTO IT PLEASE.

Incident: August 22, 2015 · Filed: September 12, 2015

I WAS APPLYING THROTTLE TO PASS A VEHICLE ON A RIGHT HAND TURN AND RESUME MY LANE POSITION AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE AND MOTORCYCLE SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO SUDDENLY CORRECT MY BODY POSITION AND BRING THE MOTORCYCLE UPRIGHT WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN CROSSING THE CENTER LINE. EMERGENCY MANEUVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN BEING STRUCK FROM THE REAR BY A CAR SINCE THERE WAS NO ELECTRICAL POWER AND LIMITED BRAKING ABILITY. INSPECTION ON THE ROADWAY SHOWED A WARNING SIGNAL ON THE DASH WHICH WAS A RED WITH EXCLAMATION POINT ! (ABS!). THE BIKE WOULD NOT START. HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED. AFTER DIAGNOSIS AND THE MECHANIC AT THE DUCATI SHOP SAID IT WAS THE CANBUS FUSE WHICH WAS BLOWN. NO OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED. DON'T KNOW IF I CAN TRUST THIS MOTORCYCLE ON THE ROAD FURTHER.
