2007 Ducati 1098 recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, the electronic control unit (ECU) ignition timing and idle mixture were improperly set during production causing the engine speed to drop and stall the engine when the temperature of the cooling system exceeded 180F.
💥 The risk
If the engine stops while the motorcycle is being driven, it could increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the ECU mapping using a dedicated diagnostic system instrument (dds) free of charge. The recall began on february 8, 2008. Owners may contact ducati at 201-264-8327.
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.)
