Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Brakes: rear brake master cylinder was previously replaced in 2011, rear brakes malfunctioned once again jan 2011...rear brake lines were bled to rule out air trapped in the brake line, only to discover brake fluid leaking from the rubber tube which feeds into the top of the brake master...in addition, the rubber grommet that seats into the rear master free-rotates in place. Ducati dealership will be replacing the rear master a second time under warranty, but I fear the cause is not being addressed! …”
