2003 Ducati 749S & 2003 Ducati 999 + 1 more recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, the front brake hose CAN become trapped between the lower steering flange and the steering lock peg when the vehicle is cornering.
💥 The risk
This condition could cause a loss of front brake fluid pressure and damage to the brake hose, which could rupture causing front brake failure. This could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a retaining clip on the front brake hose. The recall is expected to begin during december 2004. Owners should contact ducati at 1-408-253-0499.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
