2016 Ducati 1299 Complaints

The 2016 Ducati 1299 has two recalls, both carrying crash risk: a front brake master cylinder that can fail and eliminate front braking, and an engine that can push oil onto the rear tire.

The brake recall affects a range of Ducati models and trims including the STD, S, FE, and SL variants. If the front master cylinder fails, the rider loses front brake function entirely. The engine recall is specific to the SL and FE trims: crankcase pressure can force oil into the airbox, where it drips from the drain hose onto the road directly behind the rear tire, reducing traction and raising the risk of losing control.
