The problem

Ducati is recalling certain model year 2012 panigale motorcycles because of an incorrect screw used to retain the swingarm to the rear suspension linkage.

The risk

If the linkage detaches from the swingarm, catastrophic suspension collapse would occur and adversely affect the ability to safely handle the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace, as necessary, the incorrect screw free of charge. The safety recall began on june 30, 2012. Owners may contact ducati at 1-800-231-6696 or go to their website at www.ducati.com.
