Dealers will replace the rear shock absorber assembly at no cost.
The 2016 Ducati Multistrada 1200 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a rear shock absorber eyelet that can crack and break free from the swingarm, causing the rear suspension to collapse while riding.
When the rear suspension fails this way, the bike loses its ability to absorb bumps and maintain stability, which can lead to a sudden loss of control. This recall applies specifically to Multistrada 1200 Enduro models. The third recall covers the side-stand, which can break due to an incorrectly sized support tube. If the stand gives way while the bike is parked and leaning on it, the motorcycle falls over, which raises the risk of injury to anyone nearby and can cause damage to the bike itself.
