2011 DUCATI DIAVEL
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Ducati North America is recalling certain 2011 Diavel motorcycles manufactured between September 23, 2010, and May 12, 2011. The brass inserts in the chain guard may deform over time, causing the screws that hold the license plate holder to the rear swing-arm to loosen. A loose license plate holder could interfere with the motorcycle's rear wheel rotation and increase the risk of a crash.
Ducati dealers will replace the chain guard with an updated version that includes steel inserts at no charge to owners. The recall began on July 27, 2011. Affected consumers should contact Ducati at 1-800-231-6696 to schedule the replacement service.
