The 2016 Ducati Monster 1200 has two recalls, both affecting the braking system: the rear brake hose can be damaged by heat and lose braking force, and the front brake master cylinder can fail and cause a complete loss of front braking.
Both issues raise the risk of a crash if the rider cannot slow or stop the motorcycle effectively. The rear hose concern applies to Monster 1200 S, STD, and R configurations, while the front master cylinder issue extends across several Ducati models sharing that component.
