Ducati North America is recalling 2,906 of its 2016-2023 XDiavel S and XDiavel STD motorcycles due to a defect where the passenger backrest can break. This failure occurs if the backrest was incorrectly installed or is used improperly by a passenger. Owners should take their motorcycle to an authorized dealer to have the backrest installation inspected and the mounting screws tightened, and to have a new warning sticker applied to the component at no cost.
If the passenger backrest breaks while the motorcycle is in motion, the passenger may fall off the vehicle, significantly increasing the risk of serious injury.
Inspection and tightening of backrest mounting screws and application of a warning sticker.
