Ducati motorcycles including the 1198, 1198 S, 1098 R, 848, Streetfighter, and Streetfighter S models are subject to a recall due to a fire hazard. The plastic fitting that connects the fuel injector to the fuel hose can become warped or broken, causing fuel to leak from the fuel line at the injector connection point and creating a risk of fire.
