The 2016 Ducati XDiavel S has 4 recalls, the most serious being a rear wheel that may have been incorrectly installed on the hub, which can cause the drive pins to fail and result in simultaneous loss of braking and engine power to the rear wheel.
A separate braking concern affects the front brake master cylinder, which can fail and eliminate front braking ability, raising the risk of a crash. Together, these two issues mean both braking systems carry open recalls on this motorcycle. There is also a concern with the passenger backrest: if installed or used incorrectly, it can break and cause the passenger to fall from the motorcycle.
