MOTORCYCLE: 2006 DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC 1000-GAS TANK GETS LOOSE AND NO LONGER FITS BRACKETS. THE GAS TANK IS NOT HOLDING ITS MOLDED SHAPE AND CONTINUES TO GET WORSE, WHILE SPREADING AWAY FROM ITS MOUNTING BUSHINGS AND BRACKETS UNDER THE FRONT OF GAS TANK. THIS CAN CAUSE PAINT BUBBLING, POSSIBLE LEAKAGE OF FUEL AND A FUEL TANK THAT ULTIMATELY FALL OFF DURING RIDING. HIGHLY DANGEROUS. THE ORIGINAL GAS TANK HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM 2 YEARS AGO. NOW IM SEEING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AND FEAR OF REPLACING AGAIN, SINCE MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND A NEW GAS TANK COST ABOUT $1700. *TR

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: IF THE ENGINE STOPPED WHILE THE MOTORCYCLE WAS BEING DRIVEN, IT COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP TO FUEL FILTER HOSE AND FASTENERS TO PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM STOPPING. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 21, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DUCATI AT 1-800-424-9153.
