What owners report
I WAS SENDING IN A COMPLAINT DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAVE READ THAT THERE WAS LAWSUIT REGARDING THE GAS TANKS EXPANDING ON DUCATI'S. I WANTED INFORMATION ON HOW TO GO ABOUT GETTING MINE REPLACED. *TR
THE GAS TANK HAS EXPANDED TO THE POINT THAT IT DOES NOT STAY IN THE HOLDING BRACKETS. THE TANK IS LOOSE AND IS A DANGEROUS DRIVING HAZARD. DUCATI IS REPLACING THE TANK WITH THE EXACT SAME MATERIAL WHICH DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. A TANK MADE OUT OF THE SAME MATERIAL WILL RESULT IN THE SAME PROBLEM ALL OVER AGAIN. A PERMANENT SOLUTION SHOULD REQUIRE A CHANGE IN THE GAS TANK MATERIAL USED. *TR
FUEL TANK OF SAID 2006 DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC, 1.) FUEL TANK HAS EXPANDED NO LONGER FITTING INTO THE BRACKETS THAT HOLD THE FUEL TANK SECURELY IN PLACE. (FUEL TANK WOULD MOVE ABOUT) 2.) FUEL TANK DEVELOPED DEFORMATION ALONG THE TOP PORTION OF THE FUEL TANK APPROXIMATELY A 10 MM IN LENGTH AREA (LEFT OF FUEL FILLER CAP). 3.) FUEL TANK DEVELOPED PROTRUDING DIMPLES ALONG RIGHT SIDE AND LEFT SIDE OF FUEL TANK. 4.) FACTORY DECAL ON FUEL TANK DEVELOPED A 1.5 MM DIA. X .3 MM PROTRUDING BUBBLE ON THE FRONT PORTION OF THE FUEL TANK NEAR THE IGNITION SWITCH. *TR
NOTED FUEL LEAKING WHERE FUEL PUMP HOUSING ATTACHES TO COMPOSITE FUEL TANK. FUEL PUMP HOUSING, CONNECTIONS, AND FITTINGS HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED OR ALTERED IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM BY THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE (OWNED 4/12/2007 TO PRESENT). ISSUE APPEARS BE RELATED TO COMPOSITE (NON-METALLIC) FUEL TANK DEFORMATION OVER TIME. LEAKING FUEL IS A SERIOUS SAFETY-ISSUE THAT MAY CAUSE POTENTIALLY SERIOUS INJURY, HARM, OR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE OPERATOR, VEHICLE, AND OTHER PERSONS AND/OR PROPERTY. *TR
ON OCTOBER 28, 2011, WHILE OPERATING MY 2006 DUCATI SPORTCLASSIC I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS LOOSE TOWARDS THE FORWARD PART OF THE FUEL TANK. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I OBSERVED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS NO LONGER SECURED BY EITHER THE LEFT-SIDE OR RIGHT-SIDE MOUNTING BRACKETS ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE FRAME. IT IS CLEAR THAT THE DIMENSIONS OF THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK OVER TIME HAS WARPED OR CHANGED TO SUCH AN EXTENT AS TO RENDER THE TWO FORWARD SECURING BRACKETS INEFFECTIVE IN THEIR PRESENT STATE. THIS RESULTS IN THE FUEL TANK DEPENDENT SOLELY ON A SINGLE REAR MOUNTING BOLT TO SECURE THE FUEL TANK IN PLACE. AS A CONSEQUENCE, IT IS CLEAR THAT ANY OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE RISKS INJURY SHOULD
