ODI #10420290

Incident: July 1, 2010 · Filed: August 16, 2011

THE COMPOSITE GAS TANK HAS EXPANDED DUE TO AN INTERACTION WITH THE FUEL. THE FUEL TANK SWELLS AND BULGES FROM THE FRAME OF THE BIKE. THE MALFORMATION OF THE TANK CAUSES THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION TO CONTACT THE TANK WHILE RIDING AND TURNING. THE CONTACT IS CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FINISH AND CRACKS IN THE TANK. THE OPENING FOR THE KEY IN THE TANK IS OBSTRUCTED AND COULD PREVENT THE LOCKING MECHANISM FROM WORKING AND TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. THE MANUFACTURER IS REPLACING TANKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMATIC TANK IF THE VEHICLE IS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY AND THE REPAIR IS APPROVED. THIS IS A LENGTHY PROCESS THAT LEAVES THE CUSTOMER WITHOUT USE OF THE MOTORCYCLE WHILE THE DECISION TO REPAIR IS MADE. THE EFFECT OF THE FUEL ON THE TANK IS A KNOWN CONSEQUENCE TO THE MANUFACTURER.

THE GAS TANK HAS EXPANDED APPARENTLY DUE TO AN INTERACTION WITH THE ETHANOL IN THE FUEL. THIS CAUSES IT TO BULGE FROM THE FRAME OF THE BIKE. THE MALFORMATION OF THE TANK CAUSES THE HANDLE BARS TO TOUCH THE TANK LIMITING MOVEMENT, THE OPENING FOR THE KEY TO BE OBSTRUCTED, AND THE PAINT AND DECALS TO BECOME DAMAGED. THE EFFECT OF THE FUEL ON THE TANK IS A KNOWN CONSEQUENCE TO THE MANUFACTURER.

Crash 1 injury

Incident: October 5, 2010 · Filed: October 7, 2010

I WAS RIDING MY MOTORCYCLE, A 2010 DUCATI STREETFIGHTER, WHEN THE ENGINE CUT OUT WHILE I WAS LEANED OVER IN A SLOW TURN (10-15MPH). THE ENGINE STOPPED COMPLETELY LOCKING UP THE REAR WHEEL, AND BECAUSE I WAS IN A TURN, IT CAUSED THE REAR WHEEL TO SLIDE, CAUSING ME TO WRECK MY MOTORCYCLE. THE ENGINE OF A MOTORCYCLE SHOULD NEVER, EVER TURN OFF WHILE RIDING (I DID NOT RUN OUT OF GAS, TURN THE IGNITION KEY OR TOUCH THE KILL SWITCH). THIS DEFECT COULD HAVE KILLED ME, HAD IT HAPPENED IN THE CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. I HAVE CONTACTED DUCATI NORTH AMERICA, BUT HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING BACK FROM THEM. PREVIOUSLY THIS FAILURE HAD OCCURED 3 OR 4 TIMES TO ME WHILE RIDING, BUT NEVER WHILE IN A TURN, SO IT DID NOT CAUSE ME TO CRASH. I NORMALLY JUST RESTARTED THE BIKE AND DROVE ON. I DID NOT REALIZE THE DANGER OF LOCKING UP THE REAR WHEEL UNTIL IT HAPPENED TO ME. *TR

Incident: August 28, 2010 · Filed: September 17, 2010

NEW BIKE @ 3000 MILES HAS THE FUEL TANK EXPANDING AND SWELLING. THE TANK GETS DEFORMED AND CLEARANCE ISSUES BECOME EVIDENT. THE FRONT FORKS START HITTING THE TANK AND CRACKS BEGIN TO FORM. THE TANK WILL PUNCTURE SOON. DUCATI DEALER TAKES PHOTOGRAPHS AND SENDS THEM TO HEADQUARTERS. THEY APPROVE A REPLACEMENT TANK. I FEEL THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE MATERIAL OF THE TANK (PLASTIC) AND THE ETHANOL IN THE FUEL. THIS PROBLEM WILL KEEP HAPPENING IF THE MATERIAL IS NOT CHANGED. SO FAR 34% OF US HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS ISSUE AND FEEL THAT DUCATI IS IGNORING THEM. THIS IS THE LINK FOR REFERENCE HTTP://WWW.DUCATI.MS/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=96059. *TR
