MY MOTORCYCLE HAS A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR WHICH HAS BEEN REPLACED A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES A TWO YEAR PERIOD AND IS BROKEN AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER IS ADVISING ME THIS IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IGNORING THE CLEAR POOR QUALITY AND/OR DESIGN OF THIS PART WHICH HAS REQUIRED SO MANY REPLACEMENTS IN SUCH A SHORT TIME PERIOD. THEY ARE RELYING ON THE FACT THAT MOTORCYCLE RIDERS ARE MOSTLY RECREATIONAL AND WILL NOT NOTICE PROBLEMS ON PARTS THAT LAST JUST SHORT OF THEIR YEAR WARRANTY FOR PARTS.

WHILE PREPARING TO REMOVING THE FRONT WHEEL FROM MY 2011 DUCATI MULTISTRADA 1200ST, I NOTICED THE LOWER PORTION OF RIGHT FRONT FORK LEG THAT PINCHES THE WHEEL AXLE WAS BROKEN. THIS CONCERNED ME VERY MUCH AS THIS HOLDS THE FRONT WHEEL AXLE TIGHT SO THAT IT DOES NOT COME LOOSE. I WAS PREPARING TO TAKE A THREE DAY, 1100 MILE TRIP. I LOOKED AT THE DUCATI FORUM (HTTP://WWW.DUCATI.MS/FORUMS/44-MULTISTRADA/342081-2010-11-1200S-TSB-RECALL-RIGHT-FORK-LOWERS.HTML) AND FOUND INFORMATION REFERRING TO A DUCATI TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN TSB 14-002 (FULL TSB CAN BE FOUND HERE: HTTP://WWW.MTS1200.INFO/MTS12_FAQ/MTS1200_DOCS/DUCATI/MTS1200_OHLINS_RIGHT_FORK_DUCATI_SERVICE_BULLETIN_888.PDF ). THE TSB STATES, "THIS ISSUE HAS NO IMPACT ON RIDER SAFETY..." THOUGH IT MAY BE SAFE TO RIDE ACROSS TOWN TO GET IT REPAIRED, MY ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE TELLS ME THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE TO RIDE ANY DISTANCE BEFORE THE REPAIR CAN BE PERFORMED. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND SHOULD BECOME A FULL SAFETY RECALL. I DON'T FEEL THAT IT WAS APPROPRIATE TO FIND OUT ABOUT THIS ON MY OWN ACCORD AND HAVING TO DO MY OWN INTERNET RESEARCH. ALL SUSCEPTIBLE CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE CONTACTED BY DUCATI FOR WARRANTY REPAIR SERVICE. PICTURES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. *TR

Is 6 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2014 and 2021, roughly 1 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
