REAR BRAKES COMPLETELY FADE AND ARE USELESS OVER A PERIOD OF MONTHS. BLEEDING THE BRAKE LINE WORKS FOR A SHORT PERIOD BUT IS TIMELY AND COSTLY. THE CURRENT SET UP ALLOWS EXCESSIVE HEAT FROM THE EXHAUST AND POSSIBLY CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO BOIL BRAKE FLUID. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT MAY REQUIRE INTERVENTION. *TR

THERE IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THE REAR BRAKE BECOMING UNUSABLE. THE BRAKE LINE PASSES MUCH TOO CLOSE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, WHICH VAPORIZES THE BRAKE FLUID AND CREATES A GAS POCKET IN THE LINE. THIS RENDERS THE BRAKES UNUSABLE. DRAINING THE LINE REQUIRES REMOVING THE REAR WHEEL (A HUGE JOB ON A DUCATI) AND CALIPER. THE PROBLEM RETURNS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. THEY HAVE SERVICED IT SEVERAL TIMES, BUT EACH TIME IT IMMEDIATELY FAILS AGAIN. IT IS VERY UNSAFE.

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.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
