I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT BRAKES ON THE '04 DUCATI MULTISTRADA 1000DS. WHEN BRAKING THE BIKE SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY CAUSING A MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL. THIS HAPPENS 8 OUT OF 10 STOPS. THERE IS CURRENTLY A FORUM DISCUSSION GOING ON SINCE 2003 REGARDING THE DREADED BRAKE SHUDDER ON THIS BIKE: HTTP://WWW.MULTISTRADA.NET/FORUM/VIEWTOPIC.PHP?T=54&HIGHLIGHT=BRAKE+SHUDDER SO FAR ONE MEMBER ON THE FORUM HAS CRASHED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM: HTTP://WWW.MULTISTRADA.NET/FORUM/VIEWTOPIC.PHP?T=2694&HIGHLIGHT=BRAKE+CRASH DUCATI IS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE FRONT BRAKES OF THIS BIKE. SO FAR THEY HAVE A NOTICE ISSUED TO DEALERS SAYING TO REPLACE THE BANJO BOLTS WHICH DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE IS SEVERE ENOUGH TO WARRANT A RECALL. HOPEFULLY NHTSA WILL BE ABLE TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND WORK WITH DUCATI TO GET A RECALL ISSUED. *NM

After opening this PE, we met with subject owners, dealers, and Ducati North America personnel.We learned that the subject leakage is limited to the Multistrada line alone and is unrelated to composite fuel tank deformation.Rather it stems from the inability of the original sealing O-ring to conform to the tank's relatively rough sealing surface.Recall 11V-020 provides a new X section O-ring to address the Multistrada issue and with that recall, this PE is closed for the Multistrada.Meanwhile, unlike the Multistrada, the Monster line fails to exhibit a current safety defect trend and, on that basis, this PE is closed for those models as well.
