2007 Ducati Sport Classic mileage at failure

56 of the 68 complaints on file for the 2007 Ducati Sport Classic give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.

Mileage at failure by component, from owners' complaints to NHTSA
Component	Median	Middle half	Based on
Fuel/Propulsion System	Median 3,000 miles	Middle half 2,000–5,000 miles	Based on 52 complaints

A component's median is its 50th percentile, and its middle half runs from its 25th to its 75th percentile.

Owners give the mileage themselves, often as a round number, and NHTSA doesn't check it. A complaint that names several components counts under each one, and mileages that can't be right, such as 999,999, or 50 miles on a five-year-old car, are left out.

These figures describe the complaints owners filed. They don't predict when a particular vehicle will have a problem, and vehicles that never had one aren't counted.

ODI #10436164

Incident: October 18, 2011 · Filed: November 17, 2011

THE FUEL TANK ON MY MOTORCYCLE HAS SPREAD AND DISTORTED ENOUGH THAT IT HAS FALLEN OFF THE FRAME OF THE MOTORCYCLE. WHILE RIDING THE MOTORCYCLE AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED, WIND WILL ACTUALLY LIFT THE FUEL TANK UP AND THE RIDER MUST HOLD IT IN PLACE SO IT DOES NOT SEPARATE COMPLETELY FROM THE VEHICLE. I WAS IN FEAR FOR MY SAFETY WHEN RIDING MY MOTORCYCLE EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER INSISTS THAT DUCATI SEES THIS AS A NORMAL CONDITION. I PUSHED THE ISSUE WITH THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE REFUSED MY LATEST REQUEST FOR A REPLACEMENT FUEL TANK UNDER WARRANTY (GOOD FAITH OR OTHERWISE). THE NEW REPAIR PROVIDED WAS TO INSTALL A LARGER BRACKET ON THE FRAME OF THE MOTORCYCLE TO TRY AND RETAIN THE DEFECTIVE TANK. THIS DOES NOT SOLVE THE ORIGINAL ISSUE OF A POORLY MANUFACTURED AND FAULTY FUEL TANK ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

ODI #10424029

Incident: July 12, 2011 · Filed: September 7, 2011

FUEL TANK IS SPREADING AND IS NOW LOOSE ON IT'S MOUNTS. POSSIBLE FOR IT TO LIFT AT THE FRONT OF THE TANK. THIS IS UNSAFE AS IT COULD COME LOOSE WHILE DRIVING/RIDING AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR LOSS OF CONTROL. ALSO POSES A RISK OF HAVING FUEL LEAKING EITHER WHILE RIDING OR PARKED WHICH I COULD BE FINED FOR. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT IS JUST BEING PATCHED UP AND NOT RECTIFIED BY DUCATI. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM SOLVED BY MYSELF AND OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. LEAKING FUEL IS ALSO A SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE AS WELL. *TR

Incident: July 1, 2011 · Filed: August 27, 2011

THE TANK ON MY 2007 DUCATI SPORT 1000 BIPOSTO HAS SPREAD HALF AN INCH ON EACH SIDE OF THE TANK. THE RUBBER PART OF THE MOUNT HAS EXTENDED ALMOST PASSED THE METAL BRACKET, MAKING IT LOOSE AND EXTREMELY UNSAFE. *TT

ODI #10421650

Incident: June 18, 2010 · Filed: August 26, 2011

1. I NOTICED DIMPLES ON THE TOP OF MY GAS TANK AND THEN CHECKED THE MOUNTING BRACKETS FOR THE GAS TANK. THE GAS TANK COULD BE PULLED COMPLETELY OFF THE MOTORCYCLE WITHOUT MUCH EFFORT. 2. THIS IS A FAILURE THAT CANNOT RECTIFY ITSELF AND SLOWLY DEGRADES MORE AND MORE. 3. THE MOTORCYCLE WAS TAKEN INTO A DUCATI SERVICE SHOP AND THEY "SHIMMED" THE GAS TANK BRACKET TO PREVENT IT FROM BEING ABLE TO REMOVE IT COMPLETELY. THE TANK WAS STILL LOOSE, BUT COULD NOT BE REMOVED COMPLETELY. SINCE THE SHIMMING OF THE BRACKETS, THE TANK HAS WARPED AND SPREAD FURTHER AND IS LOOSER THAN WHEN ORIGINALLY SHIMMED. THIS CAUSES A SHAKING OF THE GAS TANK AT NORMAL OPERATING SPEED WHEN MY LEG COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE GAS TANK. *TT

ODI #10410681

Incident: July 1, 2011 · Filed: July 6, 2011

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC 1000 MOTORCYCLE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, THE FUEL TANK WAS ABNORMALLY STRETCHED DUE TO FUEL LINE TENSION. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V017000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: DELIVERY: HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO REFERRED THE CONTACT TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR SERVICE. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 3,600.
