2018 Ducati 1299

The 2018 Ducati 1299 has two recalls, both carrying crash risk: the front brake master cylinder can fail and cause a loss of front braking, and engine oil can leak onto the rear tire and reduce traction.

The brake issue affects a range of Ducati models and trims beyond just the 1299. On the engine side, this recall is limited to SL and FE variants: crankcase pressure can push oil into the airbox, where it drips from the drain hose and falls in the path of the rear tire, reducing grip.
