Problem: Ducati North America (Ducati) is recalling certain 2014-2018 1199 SL, Panigale R (V2), 1299 SL, and 1299 FE motorcycles. Engine crankcase pressure can push engine oil into the airbox, possibly resulting in oil leaking from the airbox drain hose.
Risk: The leaking oil may drip in the path of the rear tire, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will install a blow-by valve kit, free of charge. The recall began October 29, 2019. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-888-391-5446. Ducati's number for this recall is SRV-RCL-19-002.

Problem: Ducati North America (Ducati) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Panigale V4, Panigale V4 S, Panigale Speciale, and 2019 Panigale R motorcycles. Excessive pressure in the fuel tank may cause fuel to spray when opening the fuel cap.
Risk: Fuel spray can increase the risk of injury and a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
Fix: Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will update the fuel cap venting system, provide an updated page for the owner's manual, and affix a warning label decal to the fuel tank, free of charge.
