2007 Ducati 1098S recalls
Recall 08V-638: Electrical System
Problem: Ducati is recalling 7,130 my 2007-2008 1098, 1098s, 1098 tricolore, 1098r, and my 2008-2009 848 motorcycles. The motorcycle charging system may be adversely affected by engine heat and stop operating. This results in damage to the voltage regulator and ensuing battery discharge.

Fix: Dealers will replace the voltage regulator, install a heat guard between the voltage regulator and the engine exhaust system, and install a modified battery support. The recall will begin on december 24, 2008. Owners may contact ducati at 1-800-231-6696.

Problem: Ducati is recalling 3,614 my 2007-2008 1098, 1098s, and 1098 tricolore motorcycles. The rear drive sprocket can fail.
Risk: If the sprocket were to fail while the motorcycle is being driven, it is possible that the motorcycle will experience a sudden loss of power and/or the chain may become entangled with the chassis. This can result in a crash without prior warning.
Fix: Dealers will replace the rear drive sprocket. The recall began on june 25, 2008. Owners may contact ducati at 1-408-253-0499.
