Defect summary | 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. |
Consequence summary | 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. |
Corrective action | 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. |
