Ducati North America recall for exterior lighting, reported to NHTSA on Apr 4, 2014, covering about 2,083 vehicles.
The problem
Ducati North America (Ducati) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 1199 Panigale and Panigale S motorcycles. The left handlebar switch may not get power from its connection at the dashboard, preventing the horn, instrument panel display, high beam and right turn signals from functioning. As such, these motorcycles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 123, "Motorcycle Controls and Displays."
The risk
The rider's inability to use the horn, right turn indicators and high beam could increase the risk of a crash.
