Recall: Ducati Multistrada 1200 & Multistrada 1200 S

By Jensen Beeler 10/21/2015 3 Comments

A teething issue for a new model, Ducati North America is recalling a total of 869 units of its Multistrada 1200 & Multistrada 1200 S motorcycles for the 2015 and 2016 model years.

The bikes in question were built between December 1, 2014 and June 11, 2015, and have a kickstand that may break because of an incorrect length on the kickstand support tube.
