The 2018 Ducati Supersport has 4 recalls, the most serious involving fuel hoses routed too close to the exhaust manifold that can melt, leak fuel, and start a fire.
On the braking side, air can work its way into the rear brake system, reducing stopping power and extending the distance needed to bring the bike to a halt. The transmission also has a concern: the shift lever knob may have been incorrectly assembled and can detach from the lever, leaving the rider unable to change gears. There is also a visibility issue where mirror vibration can distort the reflected image, making it harder to see traffic behind the bike.
