The problem
Ducati North America (Ducati) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Multistrada 1200 Enduro motorcycles. The motorcycle's rear shock absorber lower shock-end eyelet may crack and possibly detach from the swingarm.
The risk
If the rear shock absorber detaches from the swingarm, the motorcycle's handling would be affected, increasing the risk of a crash.
