2014 Ducati 1199 Superleggera recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Ducati North America (Ducati) is recalling certain model year 2014 1199 Superleggera motorcycles manufactured April 8, 2014, through November 13, 2014. On the affected motorcycles, the damper plate assembled between the primary driven gear and the clutch basket assembly could break due to fatigue, and result in the engine seizing, and therefore, the rear wheel locking up.
💥 The risk
A rear wheel lock up may cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will install a new clutch assembly, free of charge. The recall began on July 11, 2016. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-800-231-6696. Ducati's number for this recall is SRV-RCL-16-002.
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.)
