Rear brake is sinking to the exhaust pipe and not stopping the motorcycle. The previous year motorcycle I currently own has been recalled for the rear brake hoses, but I am having the same problem with my 2019 Ducati Monster 1200. This is a safety hazard and I want to have my dealership fix this without charge.

REAR BRAKE FAILED. PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THIS OCCURRED AT 300 MILES ON ODOMETER.
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.
