The 2025 Ducati Panigale V4 has two recalls, both addressing the same brake issue: excessive heat can damage the rear brake hose running between the ABS control unit and the rear brake caliper, causing brake fluid to leak and rear braking power to drop or disappear entirely.
When the rear brakes lose function suddenly, stopping distances increase and the risk of a crash rises. The hose itself sits in an area exposed to enough heat during normal riding to degrade the line over time, so the failure may not be immediately obvious until braking performance is noticeably reduced or lost.
