Ducati XDiavel S Recalled Due To Incorrectly Installed Hub

The affected markets are North America, New Zealand, and the UK, and the reason to recall the newly launched Ducati XDiavel S is the incorrectly installed hub.

The Italian motorcycle maker Ducati is recalling it newly launched XDiavel S cruiser motorcycle in North America, New Zealand and the UK. As per the manufacturer, the hub of the motorcycle has been installed incorrectly which can result in the drive pins failure. Due to this, owners can suffer from a loss of power from the engine and the brakes, and I guess we don't have to tell what can happen after that.

Ducati has announced the recall officially and is notifying its customers to visit service centres to fix the above-mentioned problem. The company isn't charging any money for the repair, so we would like to suggest XDiavel S customers to reach their nearest Ducati service centres as soon as possible.
