🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a battery mounting bracket and two double lock velcro strips on the bottom of the battery. The recall began on november 19, 2007. Owners may contact ducati motorcycles 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.)
