2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Ducati is recalling certain model year 2012 Panigale motorcycles because of an incorrect screw used to retain the swingarm to the rear suspension linkage.
💥 The risk
If the linkage detaches from the swingarm, catastrophic suspension collapse would occur and adversely affect the ability to safely handle the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace, as necessary, the incorrect screw free of charge. The safety recall began on june 30, 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.)
