Loosening of the license plate holder could interfere with the motorcycle's rear wheel rotation and thereby increase the risk of a crash.
Recalled Vehicles:
2011 Ducati Diavel
Component: Equipment
Manufactured by: Ducati North America
Affected Units:: 964
Recall Summary:
Ducati is recalling certain model year 2011 diavel motorcycles manufactured from September 23, 2010, through may 12, 2011. The brass inserts installed in the chain guard may deform over time, resulting in the possible loosening of the license plate holder retaining screws on the rear swing-arm. This situation could cause the license plate holder to become loose during normal operation of the motorcycle.
How to Fix:
Ducati dealers will replace the chain guard with an updated version, manufactured with steel inserts. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on July 27, 2011. Owners may contact ducati at 1-800-231-6696.
