r1limited Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news-general-news/ducati-issues-usa-recall-panigale-v4 DUCATI has issued a recall for 692 units of the Panigale V4 in the USA due to address an issue with the fuelling system. All three variants, which are the Panigale V4, V4S and the top-spec Panigale V4R have been recalled for two reasons. The first one is because the internal breathing system valve plug on the Panigale V4 which could have a fuel leak if the O-ring was damaged during the valve plug installation process. Also, the grease on the O-ring made it even more difficult for the suppliers to detect the leakage during the quality tests. “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.” --Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
