Steering

What is wrong
Ducati is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 1199 Panigale motorcycles manufactured from March 16, 2012, through July 12, 2012. Screws that secure the steering damper to the steering head could fall out due to an insufficient amount of Loctite applied to the threads.
Risk
The steering damper can detach from the steering head which can lead to loss of control of the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Ducati will notify owners, and authorized dealers will remove both screws, clean the threads, apply the proper amount of Loctite, and tighten to the proper torque settings, free of charge. The safety recall began on October 15, 2012. Owners may contact Ducati at 1‑800‑231‑6696 or through their website at www.ducati.com.
