Recent 2016 Ducati Diavel complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Structure · at 2 miles · reported Oct 20, 2020
Kickstand sensor fell off of bike causing the bike to stall while driving. Ducati states they had a recall for this for my year bike, although my VIN does not match the recall db. This is a safety issue.
Service Brakes · at 2,500 miles · reported May 14, 2020
Rear brakes completely fade and are useless over a period of months. Bleeding the brake line works for a short period but is timely and costly. The current set up allows excessive heat from the exhaust and possibly catalytic converter to boil brake fluid. This is a known issue that may require intervention.
Service Brakes · at 1 miles · reported May 1, 2020
There is a chronic problem with the rear brake becoming unusable. The brake line passes much too close to the catalytic converter, which vaporizes the brake fluid and creates a gas pocket in the line. This renders the brakes unusable. Draining the line requires removing the rear wheel (A huge job on a ducati) and caliper. The problem returns almost immediately. They have serviced it several times, but each time it immediately fails again. It is very unsafe.
