Fix: Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front brake master cylinder piston, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin February 15, 2018. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-800-231-6696.

Paperwork

Test drive
- Drive on a highway and in town. Listen for noises and watch the temperature gauge.
- Pay for an independent mechanic's inspection before you commit.
