Safety recall: Ducati 1199 Panigale

A number of ailments on the technologically advanced superbike, including the possibility of the steering damper coming loose under extreme conditions

A third product safety recall has been issued for Ducati’s flagship Panigale superbike in the space of 12 months, focussed on the following four issues:

  1. Exhaust valve bowden cable heat protector: Under extreme conditions, the plastic protector could melt or burn, producing smoke and noxious fumes.
  2. Steering damper retaining screws and ball joint: Under extreme conditions and after heavy wear, the steering damper may come loose.
  3. Rear fork fastening bolts: The bolts require re-tightening to new factory torque standards.
  4. Front brake reservoir connecting tubes: After extended rubbing against the reservoir retaining screw, the connection tube could wear out and produce a slight fluid leak.

Consumers should contact their nearest authorised Ducati dealer to arrange for installation of a safety upgrade kit.

The safety recall affects the following VIN numbers:
