2007 Ducati 1098 Tricolore recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, the horizontal cylinder head fitting to the thermostat produced a coolant leakage.
💥 The risk
Coolant leakage over the rear suspension and wheel could cause a crash.
🔧 The fix
The thermostat hose and relative couplings were replaced. All motorcycles were corrected before retail delivery to customers.
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.)
