Power Train · reported May 29, 2026
Hi [XXX] , Not sure if you are still working at NHTSAâ¦.. For what itâs worth, I finally diagnosed my âotherâ 2015 Ducati with a failed spark plug wire (open circuit). This bike has about 5,000 miles, but has had the symptoms since about 1,000 miles (i.e., almost 10 years). So, Ducati is 2 for 2 in 2015 for bad spark plug wires. On âdual sparkâ bikes (i.e., this one), having one failed wire is not a catastrophe; but very hard to diagnose.

Engine · reported Apr 17, 2025
While cruising down the highway I shifted up from 4th gear to 5th, power cut off on the engine while going 50 mph. I did an emergency clutch pull and coasted to the emergency lane. Rear tire locked up and i skid to a stop. Come to find out a rod was broken and the motor locked up.
Service Brakes · reported Apr 10, 2025
Rear brakes and wiring overheated rear Caliber and rotors causing damage. Currently at the Ducati dealership awaiting repair.

Engine · reported Jun 8, 2021
Crank failure. Bearing surface between connecting rod and crank failed and caused a catastrophic failure of engine. Potential for internal debris/loose metal/broken parts to seize gearbox locking up the rear wheel. Part was inspected by my dealer. No warning of any type is given prior to failure. Two (2) other same model year Diavels were in my dealer (Ducati Detroit) for the same issue. There are multiple failures of others reported on various message boards and forums.
Fuel/Propulsion System · at 45 miles · reported Dec 11, 2018
Faulty fuel sensor. After a period of time, the fuel sensor will break down resulting in an inaccurate fuel gauge reading and will show empty. Despite many revisions of this part number, ducati is unable to provide a long term solution to this problem. Ducati has not released or notified the owners of this mishap and are holding back information on fixing it.
