The 2011 Ducati Diavel has 4 recalls, the most serious being a chain guard defect where the license plate holder can work loose and contact the rear wheel, creating a crash risk.
The chain guard issue and the side stand concern are each filed across two jurisdictions, but both represent single underlying problems. On the side stand, the pivot area can bend or break under load, causing the motorcycle to tip over while parked and potentially injuring the rider or anyone standing nearby.
