The 2018 Ducati Supersport has 4 recalls, the most serious involving fuel and vent hoses routed too close to the exhaust manifold, where heat can melt the hoses and cause a fuel leak that raises the risk of fire.
On the braking side, air can work its way into the rear brake hydraulic system, softening the brake feel and lengthening the distance needed to stop. A separate mechanical issue involves the gear shift assembly: the shift knob can detach from the lever during riding, leaving the rider unable to change gears at speed. Finally, mirror vibration at certain engine speeds can blur the reflected image enough that the rider loses a clear view of what is behind them.
