The 2017 Ducati Monster 1200 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving both the front and rear brakes: the rear brake hose can suffer heat damage and fail entirely, while the front brake master cylinder can also fail, each leaving the rider with reduced or no braking ability.
The rear brake system has a second concern as well, where air can permeate the hydraulic lines and reduce stopping power, requiring a longer distance to bring the bike to a halt. On the drivetrain side, the gear shift lever may have been incorrectly assembled, allowing the shift knob to detach from the lever and leaving the rider unable to change gears.
