The 2017 Ducati Monster 1200 has 4 recalls, the most serious being a front brake master cylinder that can fail and eliminate front braking ability entirely, significantly raising the risk of a crash.
Two additional recalls target the rear brake system. The rear brake hose can suffer heat damage and fail, causing the rear brakes to stop working. Separately, air can permeate the rear brake hydraulic system, reducing braking effectiveness and extending stopping distances. Together, these rear brake issues mean the rear stopping power can be compromised in more than one way. On the drivetrain side, the gear shift lever may have been incorrectly assembled, allowing the shift knob to detach from the lever while riding. If that happens, the rider loses the ability to change gears, which can make it difficult or impossible to manage speed in traffic.
