What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
This ducati motorcycle is equipped with a plastic gas tank that deformed leading to leaking at the fuel pump area. Leaking of fuel is dangerous due to the proximity of the motorcycle fuel tank to engine exhaust which is hot enough to cause a fire if in contact with fuel.
2006 ducati mts 620 began to steadily leak fuel from bottom of fuel tank at the fuel pump flange. This allowed fuel to drip onto hot exhaust, which could have caused a fire.
Potential for fire, even death. Fuel tank swelling to the point of leaking gasoline from the fuel pump flange onto the rear tire and exhaust. Ducati north america is replacing the tanks only if there is an actual leak. The tanks may start leaking at any time.
Motorcycle gas tank (plastic) is deforming and: a) no longer sits tight to the frame as designed, b) is exerting pressure on ignition, making the tank difficult to latch and unlatch for maintenance.
