Ducati has recalled the Panigale V4 and the Streetfighter V4 in India and several other countries over a faulty rear axle.
Audi-owned Italian bike maker, Ducati, has announced a recall for the Panigale V4 and the Streetfighter V4 in India, as per a report by Autocar India and Motorradonline.de. This is part of a wider global recall for the motorcycles. A total of 393 units of the two motorcycles are affected as part of this recall, manufactured between 2018-2024 (Panigale V4) and 2018-2025 (Streetfighter V4).
Ducati Panigale V4 and Streetfighter V4 recalled: What is the issue?
The recall is owing to a defective rear axle with the single-sided swingarm of the motorcycles. The recall dates back to an incident in 2023, when the rear axle broke while a motorcycle was running. While the wheel itself did not detach from the motorcycle, it is a worrying incident. Ducati will inspect the rear axles and change them if necessary.
While the actual reason for the incident that occurred in 2023 has not been pinpointed, it could be due to various reasons. According to NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) documents in the US, various reasons could have led to axle failure, such as mileage, vehicle condition, and incorrect torque to the rear axle bolt during wheel or chain adjustments.
As per the report, around 10,000 units in the US are affected, accross the Panigale and Streetfighter V4(S) as well as the Panigale V4 R and Superleggera V4. In Germany, almost 7,000 units are affected, while there are reports from other places as well, such as Canada and other international markets.
