It looks we’ll see two Ducati recalls this week. In addition to the Ducati 1199 Superleggera recall we saw on Monday, the 2016 Ducati XDiavel S is also getting a recall from Ducati North America.
This recall centers around the rear wheel on the Ducati XDiavel S, which may have been installed incorrectly onto the wheel hub. This recall affects only the XDiavel S model, and encompasses 925 motorcycles in all.
If the rear wheel was incorrectly installed on the hub, this may cause the drive pins to fail, which would result in a loss of brakes and power from the engine.
Since a failure of this type could lead to the motorcycle crashing, Ducati North America has issued a recall with the NHTSA.
Ducati will notify affect XDiavel S owners, and Ducati dealers will remove the rear wheel and install rubber inserts to prevent the wheel from being improperly installed. Additionally, any wheel that is found to have been improperly installed will be replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge, of course.
This recall for the 2016 Ducati XDivael S is expected to begin on July 18, 2016. Concerned owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-800-231-6696, and reference Ducati’s number for this recall: SRV-RCL-16-001.
As always, the NHTSA is also available at 1-888-327-4236 and safercar.gov.
