Ducati North America is recalling 549 model year 2014 1199 Panigale S version, 1199 Superleggera and 1199 Panigale R version motorcycles.
The motorcycles may have been built with an improperly manufactured rear shock absorber. The nut on the damper rod for these shock absorbers may loosen, resulting in a loss of damping and the possible disassembling of the shock. This could cause a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.
Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will either replace the rear shock assembly or send the shock to the supplier's repair center to be remedied, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on June 29, 2015.
Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-800-231-6696. Ducati's number for this recall is RCL-15-002.
