Ducati has issued a recall for select 2023 Diavel V4 models due to a faulty passenger foot peg issue. The problem, which could cause the passenger to lose their foot support suddenly, increases the risk of a crash or injury.
- a total of 145 units of the new generation Diavel V4 is affected by the recall.
- The affected models were produced between February 16 and March 30, 2023.
Ducati North America identified the issue as a production defect on the part of the supplier of passenger foot pegs. The company notified the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of the problem on Thursday, April 13, 2023.
According to the recall notice, up to 145 examples could be impacted by the issue.
Ducati has already distributed recall campaign instructions to its North American dealerships. The letter instructs service departments to inspect the batch stamping on the underside of each passenger peg. If the unit bears a “K22” code, dealers will replace the component free of charge.
However, right-side passenger pegs (PN.46520942AA) and/or left-side passenger foot pegs (PN.46520952AA) not designated within the “K22” batch will not be replaced.
The recall is a precautionary measure taken by Ducati to ensure the safety of its customers. The company advises owners of affected motorcycles to take their vehicles to a Ducati dealership as soon as possible for inspection and repair.
