The 2012 Ducati Diavel has 2 recalls, both centered on the same defect: a side stand that can bend or break at the pivot point, allowing the motorcycle to fall over and injure anyone nearby.
The side stand on certain bikes was manufactured incorrectly and may not hold the motorcycle's weight when parked, creating a tip-over risk for the rider or bystanders. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why two separate filings exist for the same problem.
