“I purchased my 2007 Ducati MONSTER S4RS motorcycle new, taking delivering in april, 2007. Over the past year, I have encountered increasing difficulty in releasing and refastening the latch that holds the fuel tank in place on the motorcycle. Upon closer examination, I discovered that the fuel tank has expanded, and the tank no longer fits properly on the motorcycle frame. …”
NHTSA complaint #10282373, filed 2009-08, 10,000 miles“The gas tank on my 2007 Ducati monster 695 has expanded to the point where it is no longer to properly attach to the motorcycle. I have requested a new tank from Ducati north america, and am awaiting a decision on whether or not to replace it.”
NHTSA complaint #10336821, filed 2010-06, 4,600 miles“My 2007 Ducati s4rs motorcycle fuel tank swelled to the point it was not resting securely on the frame, the bars would contact it before full left or right turning movement, it pushed against the ignition switch causing the fuel tank latch to not engage, and the paint cracked off. Ducati unofficially claims (learned from my dealer) that ethanol in american gas is causing the problem. I am worried about the potential for fuel seepage and fire along with the tank becoming dislodged while riding.”
NHTSA complaint #10351474, filed 2010-08, 5,000 miles“My motorcycle has a plastic gas tank which has been expanding. The outside dimensions of the tank have increased and it now the handlebars hit it on turning and it presses against the ignition switch but what is more worrying is the fact that when hit a moderate bump on the road, the tank becomes unlatched and requires me to relatch it to prevent the tank from becoming loose. Additionally, previously it opened and closed without problems, now it is completely wedged against the ignition switch when closed. I have not significantly modified my motorcycle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10305978, filed 2010-02, 2,000 miles“My motorcycle has a plastic gas tank which has begun to expand. The outside dimensions of the tank have increased and it now does not sit correctly in the frame, the handlebars hit it on turning, and it presses against the ignition switch. Previously it opened and closed without problems, now I have to wedge it against the ignition switch to close it. The rubber mounts no longer sit on the frame. I have gotten a replacement tank from my local Ducati dealer ship but they stated that is was only a temporary fix and that the problem would most likely return. …”
