NHTSA complaint #11021067, filed 2017-09, 250 milesBrakes: “Purchased bike new in august 2018 and has less than 1k miles. Unexplained leak has developed near air intake. Leak identified near the end of january 2020. Rear brake identified today as completely inoperable but brake fluid reservoir is full. No error messages or system failure alerts including a malfunction of the ABS system was captured by the bike's electronics. I identified the rear brake failure during my pre-ride inspection on 2/17/2020. Have contacted a Ducati authorized dealer in my area for further inspection and resolution.”
NHTSA complaint #11309749, filed 2020-02, 968 milesFuel system: “The fuel gauge has gone bad multiple times. Some times the fuel gauge will go to zero with fuel still in it or it will stick at half tank when it is less than that. My local Ducati service center has replace the fuel gauge 3 times now and the bike only has 3500 miles on it. Talking to the service manager he says this is a known issue but Ducati will not fix it. This is an issue will all the models not just the super sport. I talked to a regional service rep last summer and he said it is because of the type of fuel used in the US. …”
