Fuel/Propulsion System

Filed May 30, 20121,700 milesCA

THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK ON MY 2007 DUCATI MONSTER 695 IS DEFORMING ON THE SIDES. THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK USED TO BE SMOOTH ON ALL SURFACES BUT NOW THE SIDES ARE RIPPLED AND THE RIPPLING IS STEADILY GETTING WORSE. TODAY IS MAY 30, 2012 AND I FIRST NOTICED THE RIPPLES IN NOVEMBER 2011. THE MOTORCYCLE HAS NEVER BEEN CRASHED OR EVEN DROPPED AND IT IS GARAGE STORED. I SUSPECT THE GASOLINE IS SOFTENING THE TANK OR THE TANK IS ABSORBING SOMETHING. IT IS WINTER HERE, SO IT IS NOT TEMPERATURE RELATED. *TR

PLASTIC FUEL TANK IS EXPANDING LATERALLY. TANK DOES NOT FIT ONTO FRAME AS ORIGINALLY INTENDED AND AS SOLD. STEERING STOPS HAVE BEEN ALTERED TO THE POINT THAT THE BIKE CANNOT BE LOCKED IN PARK POSITION. THIS IS TO ACCOMMODATE THE STEERING CONTROLS NOT DAMAGING THE TANK. *TR *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.

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