2012 Ducati 848 EVO & 2012 Ducati Hypermotard 796 + 4 more recall: brakes
β οΈ What's wrong
Ducati is recalling certain model year 2012 848, Streetfighter, Hypermotard, Multistrada, and Monster motorcycles. The friction material may detach from the backing plate of the rear brake pads.
π₯ The risk
If the friction material detaches, there would be a sudden loss of rear brake efficiency, increasing the stopping distance and increasing the risk of a crash.
π§ The fix
Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace, as necessary, the rear brake pads free of charge. The safety recall began on may 21, 2012. Owners may contact ducati at 1-800-231-6696 or go to their website at www.ducati.com.
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.)
