What this recall means for you
The shift lever on certain motorcycles may have been incorrectly assembled, so the shift knob can come loose and detach from the lever.
If the shift knob detaches, the rider may be unable to shift gears, which raises the risk of a crash. Owners should take this recall seriously and get the motorcycle checked promptly.
Authorized Ducati dealers will inspect the gear lever shift knob for proper tightness and replace it if needed, at no cost to the owner. Owners can also contact Ducati customer service at 1-888-391-5446 and should check their VIN for open recalls.
