Title: NHTSA Ducati Monster recall - cracks in rims Post by: 12gauge on March 03, 2012, 06:54:48 AM Hey have you guys seen the NHTSA recall No. 12V073 for 2011~12 Ducati Monsters surrounding the possibility of wheel cracks?
Check it out: http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls/results.cfm?rcl_id=12V073&searchtype=quicksearch&summary=true&refurl=email (http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls/results.cfm?rcl_id=12V073&searchtype=quicksearch&summary=true&refurl=email) I subscribe to the gov't website to see what pops up and got this in an email.

Title: Re: NHTSA Ducati Monster recall - cracks in rims Post by: mickyvee on March 03, 2012, 09:44:03 AM ??? Does this affect only the USA? Is my UK supplied Evo at risk? Better call my dealer!

Probably not. For giggles just checked my 796 with the same rim size and it's a DOT marked rim. Doesn't say "DU6-RR" anywhere on mine? Does it on yours? Title: Re: NHTSA Ducati Monster recall - cracks in rims Post by: HotIce on March 03, 2012, 10:35:31 AM Probably not. For giggles just checked my 796 with the same rim size and it's a DOT marked rim. Doesn't say "DU6-RR" anywhere on mine? Does it on yours? I looked too. I was not able to find any DU6-RR marking anywhere, in my 2012 1100 EVO ...Title: Re: NHTSA Ducati Monster recall - cracks in rims Post by: Narflar on March 03, 2012, 10:50:17 AM I just checked my Evo and didn't see that code anywhere on the wheel. I had to wait for the 2nd shipment to get my black one though.
Title: Re: NHTSA Ducati Monster recall - cracks in rims Post by: mickyvee on March 03, 2012, 11:18:21 AM 8) I'll check tomorrow. It's saturday night, and I'm on my 4th beer!
Title: Re: NHTSA Ducati Monster recall - cracks in rims Post by: Raux on March 03, 2012, 11:19:47 AM wonder if those are the Enkei rims or Marchesini
Title: Re: NHTSA Ducati Monster recall - cracks in rims Post by: stopintime on March 03, 2012, 12:04:51 PM I just checked my Evo and didn't see that code anywhere on the wheel. I had to wait for the 2nd shipment to get my black one though. The code is inside the wheel center - port side - wheel off to see it. Title: Re: NHTSA Ducati Monster recall - cracks in rims Post by: mickyvee on March 03, 2012, 12:18:04 PM [thumbsdown] In that case, I'll wait for Ducati to contact me (or not).

Title: Re: NHTSA Ducati Monster recall - cracks in rims Post by: OgreRosso on March 04, 2012, 05:12:14 AM Believe it's the Enkeis. Ducati has problems with Monster fuel lines also.

Zero NHTSA recalls on the S2R and related fuel tanks, and TWO within the same model year in the Monster line alone. Maybe they're learning that informing the owners is a good thing after all.

Title: 2011 and 2012 Monster 1100 Recall - Rear Wheel Rim Post by: Slim1899 on March 19, 2012, 02:35:30 PM Just got a notice in the mail today. They are recalling all 2011 and 2012 Monster 1100 evo rear rims. States they are prone to to cracks developing on the rear spokes. Contact the dealer you purchased from to have the rear wheel rim replaced with a new rim built to higher specifications.

Now I gotta figure out how to get it to the dealer that's 2 hours away. Title: Re: 2011 and 2012 Monster 1100 Recall - Rear Wheel Rim Post by: HotIce on March 19, 2012, 03:11:52 PM I am waiting for this too, before bringing in mine for the cracked fuel lines ...

I got my letter today. :-\ Now I gotta figure out how to get it to the dealer that's 2 hours away. I'd book it in, but not take it down there until you were told that they had the pieces in stock!

I got my letter today. :-\ Now I gotta figure out how to get it to the dealer that's 2 hours away. Just ride it there. If Ducati didn't think puffy, leaking fuel tanks were a concern, what's the big deal with cracked rims or cracked brake lines??? Title: Re: NHTSA Ducati Monster recall - cracks in rims Post by: El-Twin on March 20, 2012, 06:04:43 AM Got my notice yesterday.
Looks like I'm going to have a busy 600-mile service. I'll be driving away with a "higher specification" rear wheel rim, a fuel line that won't leak, and a new 14T sproket. Title: Re: NHTSA Ducati Monster recall - cracks in rims Post by: HotIce on March 20, 2012, 06:36:58 AM Got mine too ... time to head to the dealer with both of them ...
Title: Re: NHTSA Ducati Monster recall - cracks in rims Post by: Narflar on March 20, 2012, 03:05:04 PM What's this about the fuel line? I never received that letter.
Title: Re: NHTSA Ducati Monster recall - cracks in rims Post by: HotIce on March 20, 2012, 03:38:39 PM Fuel lines tend to crack and potentially spill fuel over the engine.
I just called my dealer, and he told me he has the wheel, but he has no "stickers". He told the the red lines and branding on the wheel are just decal/stickers. Is that true, or BS?

Why would I want them without the stickers???? They are gonna call me when they get the stickers in.... Title: Re: NHTSA Ducati Monster recall - cracks in rims Post by: blass4u on March 22, 2012, 09:44:53 AM just dropped the monster off for a oil change and to see if I'll be getting a new rear rim. Has anyone heard rims coming apart while riding?
Title: Re: NHTSA Ducati Monster recall - cracks in rims Post by: justinrhenry on March 22, 2012, 03:23:58 PM I said NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why would I want them without the stickers???? really??? bwahahahahahhaha Title: Re: NHTSA Ducati Monster recall - cracks in rims Post by: HotIce on March 22, 2012, 03:59:14 PM I am getting them w/out, so that I get my fuels lines and wheel fixed, and avoid hazard.
They will call me once they arrive from Italy, and they can put them in in five minutes. Title: Re: NHTSA Ducati Monster recall - cracks in rims Post by: HotIce on March 24, 2012, 08:21:31 AM Had mine done yesterday. Both rims and fuel lines.
I was lucky they just got the stickers yesterday, so I got them applied too. Hopefully no more recalls from now on ;D Title: Re: NHTSA Ducati Monster recall - cracks in rims Post by: mickyvee on March 24, 2012, 09:36:43 AM :) Called in at my dealer today with my VIN No. Mine is affected, and a wheel has been ordered. Is it exactly like the old rim in appearance? And there was no mention of fuel lines. I'd better get back to them on that one. It's like having my 1200 Griso back!!! Viva Italia!
