DUCATI PANIGALE V4 | STREETFIGHTER V4 (2018–2024)
What the hazard is
If the loss of structural integrity of the rear wheel shaft remains undetected, in extreme cases it may break while riding, which can result in loss of control of the motorcycle while riding and increase the risk of an accident, causing serious injury or death to rider and/or passenger or other road users.
What to do
Owners will be contacted by Ducati in writing asking them to schedule an appointment with their local authorised Ducati Service or authorised Ducati Dealer to have work carried out, free of charge. Note: You may ride your motorcycle to the Service Centre, provided you maintain a moderate speed, use minimal throttle, and avoid any abrupt acceleration. Should you experience any irregularities in the rear section of the motorcycle during transit, please stop immediately. We strongly advise against using your motorcycle for any purpose other than travelling directly to the authorised Ducati Service Centre.
