The 2015 Ducati Panigale R has two recalls, both carrying crash risk: one from a front brake master cylinder that can fail and eliminate front braking, and one from engine oil that can leak onto the rear tire.
The brake recall covers a front master cylinder that may stop functioning, leaving the rider with significantly reduced stopping ability. On the engine side, crankcase pressure can force oil into the airbox, where it drips from a drain hose onto the road surface directly behind the rear tire, reducing traction and raising the risk of losing control.
