Ducati North America is recalling 592 of its 2025 Panigale S and Panigale V4 motorcycles due to a defect where excessive engine or exhaust heat can damage the rear brake hose. This damage occurs specifically on the line between the ABS control unit and the brake caliper, potentially leading to a total failure of the rear braking system. Owners should contact an authorized dealer to have a thermal shield reinstalled at no cost to prevent this failure.
Excessive heat can melt or degrade the rear brake hose, causing a sudden loss of rear braking pressure. This failure significantly reduces the motorcycle's stopping power, increasing the risk of a crash or serious injury.
Free reinstallation of the thermal shield.
