I WENT INTO MY GARAGE AND I SMELLED A FAINT GASOLINE SMELL NEAR MY 2012 DUCATI 848 EVO. I WAS CLEANING IT, GOING OVER IT TO SEE IF I COULD IDENTIFY THE SOURCE. I NEVER FOUND THE SOURCE OF THE SMELL BUT I DID FIND A WAVE AND A BUBBLE ON THE TOP OF THE TANK. THIS IS THE BEGINNING STAGE OF GAS TANK EXPANSION. NEEDLESS TO SAY I DID NOT RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE AFTER MY DISCOVERY. FAULTY OR DEFECTIVE GAS TANK. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL (GOOGLE), AS IT HAS A PLASTIC FUEL TANK AND NOT AN ALUMINUM TANK. *JS

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
