Problem: On certain motorcycles, the fuel sending unit wiring cables installed during production could be routed incorrectly possibly coming in contact with the exhaust pipes.

Risk: This condition will burn out the cables insulation and cause a possible electrical short circuit stopping the fuel pump and consequently stopping the engine. If the engine stops while the motorcycle is being driven, it could increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the fuel sending unit wiring cables and reposition them if necessary. The recall began on january 17, 2007. Owners may contact ducati at 1-408-253-0499.
