Engine
Problem: Ducati North America (Ducati) is recalling certain 2014-2018 1199 SL, Panigale R (V2), 1299 SL, and 1299 FE motorcycles. Engine crankcase pressure can push engine oil into the airbox, possibly resulting in oil leaking from the airbox drain hose.
Risk: The leaking oil may drip in the path of the rear tire, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will install a blow-by valve kit, free of charge. The recall began October 29, 2019. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-888-391-5446. Ducati's number for this recall is SRV-RCL-19-002.
