Side Stand Failure

NHTSA #12V376000 · Structure — Motorcycle — Kickstand/Center Stand · NHTSA notice

Reported August 3, 2012 · DUCATI NORTH AMERICA

Potentially affected: 27 vehicles

Ducati campaign RCL-12-005 · Owners notified August 13, 2012 · Vehicles built May 25, 2012 – June 28, 2012 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

Ducati is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Diavel motorcycles manufactured from May 25, 2012, through June 28, 2012. The side stand may bend or break.

Safety consequence

The side stand could bend or break in the pivot area, allowing the motorcycle to fall over, increasing the risk of personal injury to the operator or others near the motorcycle. Even without falling over, a bent sidestand may interfere with the proper operation of the sidestand safety switch, preventing the bike from starting or causing the bike to stall without warning.

Manufacturer remedy

Ducati will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the side stand, free of charge. The safety recall began on August 13, 2012. Owners may contact Ducati at 1-800-231-6696 or through their website at www.ducati.com.
