1200 DVT 2 Recalls Rear Shock + Fuel Tank - Safety Issues!! Old News!

Discussion in 'Multistrada' started by Riko, Jul 2, 2017.

  1. Has any (European) owner received any news from their dealer about these 2 new recalls?
    It really is a SAFETY ISSUE.

    Got it from the FEMA website (European)

    http://www.fema-online.eu/website/index.php/consumer-information/rapid-alert-system-recalls/
    https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/cons...415/17&exclude_search_term=0&search_year=2017

    Rear shock may brake under heavy load

    And defect in the fuel tank could lead to fuel leakage at the fuel level sensor retaining ring nut, with a risk of fire if the leaking fuel comes into contact with a hot surface.

    Curious to know.
    I myself will contact my new dealer if they know about this recall...

  2. Tank was a short production run of affected bikes. Thought the shock was enduro

    You're full of good news, aren't you ;)

  3. Bloody Hell....just sent my dealer the news as I have my bike booked in on the 12th for its second service ( 1 day before i leave to the Alps!!!!...I am now reluctant to take this bike on my trip ) THANKS for the heads up RIKO!!!!
     
  4. the shock was new for this week only, so its recent and when looking at the Type approval number: e3*168/2013*00001, thats the same as on my bike, so its not for the enduro only now, DVT's 2015-2017 are also affected.
     
  5. mind you, it does state "when under heavy load" so other than that, you should be still safe ... :)
     
  6. I wouldn't worry. Just call dealer and your vin will tell them instantly if it's affected

  7. Someone posted on the shock-recall thread a ducati-uk link where you pop your engine number in & it shows you any recall info.

  9. mailed him, he said in short that if its official, I will receive a letter from Ducati directly if its safety related...

    thx anyway, I'll post that link here asap
