DUCATI XDiavel (2016–2022)
What the hazard is
If the backrest breaks and the passenger is not holding on to the rider or retainer seat strap they may fall from the bike causing serious injury or death to the passenger and increasing the risk of an accident.
What to do
Owners of affected motorcycles should contact their preferred Authorised Ducati Service Centre to arrange for the components to be inspected and replaced, if required and a warning label will be applied to the backrest to ensure proper operation, free of charge. Owners can find information on the Authorised Ducati Service Network by consulting the Dealers Locator section of the website www.ducati.com/au/en/dealers.
Defect
The passenger backrest may become loose and break if it has been incorrectly installed and/or if the passenger uses it in contravention of the manufacturer’s information for use.
