Models affected: Desmosedici
NHTSA Campaign Number: 08V563000
Potential Units Affected: 289
Problem: Ducati is recalling 289 model year 2008 Desmosedici RR motorcycles. The fuel tank drain and breather hose clamps may be installed incorrectly. This nonconformity may cause the fuel lines to weaken and break. This can result in damage to the motorcycle and a potential hazard to the rider.
