  1. Recall Description

    Ducati North America (Ducati) is recalling certain model year 2014 1199 Superleggera motorcycles manufactured April 8, 2014, through November 13, 2014.

    Action

    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.

  2. Recall Description

    Ducati North America (Ducati) is recalling certain model year 2014 1199 Panigale S version, 1199 Superleggera and 1199 Panigale R version motorcycles. The affected motorcycles may have been built with an improperly manufactured rear shock absorber. The nut on the damper rod for these shock absorbers may loosen, resulting in a loss of damping and the possible disassembling of the shock.

    Action

    Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will either replace the rear shock assembly or send the shock to the supplier''s repair center to be remedied, free of charge. The recall began on June 29, 2015. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-800-231-6696. Ducati''s number for this recall is RCL-15-002.
