FUEL TANK ON MY 2009 DUCATI MULTISTRADA 1100 IS WARPING AND EXPANDING. ACCORDING TO INFORMATION AVAILABLE ONLINE, MY TANK MAY EVENTUALLY LEAK FUEL. MY DEALER TOLD ME DUCATI WILL NOT REPLACE MY TANK UNLESS IT IS ACTUALLY LEAKING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN DUCATI DOES REPLACE TANKS, THEY REPLACE THEM WITH TANKS MADE OF THE SAME DEFECTIVE MATERIAL, SO APPARENTLY THEY ARE NOT TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. DUCATI HAS APPARENTLY KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS, THEY SHOULD HAVE EITHER STOPPED SELLING THIS MODEL OR MADE A COUNTERMEASURE AFTER THEY LEARNED OF THE PROBLEM. *TR
