The 2015 Ducati 1299 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a front brake master cylinder defect where a cracked piston can cause partial or complete loss of front braking ability, raising the risk of a crash.
A separate engine recall affects SL and FE models specifically: crankcase pressure can force engine oil into the airbox, where it may drip from the drain hose onto the road directly in the path of the rear tire, reducing traction and increasing the risk of losing control.
At a glance
What can fail
Engine crankcase pressure can force oil into the airbox, causing oil to leak from the airbox drain hose.
What the fix does
Dealers will install a blow-by valve kit at no cost to redirect crankcase pressure and prevent oil leakage.

What can fail
The plastic piston in the front brake master cylinder can crack, preventing it from building enough hydraulic pressure. This reduces front braking power and increases stopping distance.
What the fix does
Dealers replace the plastic piston with an aluminum piston that resists cracking.
