Lane Departure › Blind Spot Detection

Filed Jun 8, 2021GA

UNKNOWN- My 2012 Ducati Multistrada V4S is equipped with Blind Spot Warning and Adaptive Cruse Control. The systems have been approved, and are being used in many European countries without incident as the data shows. I have been informed by my US dealer that the US Department of Transportation has not approved the use these potentially life saving systems for my motorcycle. The systems were made active for the media to test and evaluate on US highways without incident. While this may not technically be a complaint against the manufacturer (Ducati), it is more of a question/complaint as to why the DOT has not approved these safety systems that would make me a safer driver and potentially save my life. I am sure there are good reasons - please help me understand.

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.
