Recall for 696 Wiring Harness

[sroberts152]

One more question... My bike was made during that time (I bought it June 08).  The number is a little different and I'm trying to figure it out.  The x is a 9 for me, but everything else is the same.

Based on this:

my VIN is found, but if I replace the 9 with the x it is not.  Is the x a place holder or actually part of the VIN?

The X is a place holder. Instead of posting your actual VIN most will substitute numbers with "X".
Here's my VIN for example.. ZDM1RADN09B0105xx. Of course I'm not going to post the entire number. xx is a two digit number.

Just letting you guys know that I received my recall letter in the mail.

you guys are going to make me check my VIN huh.

i took the bike apart the other day and i think i see where the problem is. i do have one wire touching the top cyl head and i see where the outer wire cover has melted a bit.

sooooo must be in the numbers..

my vin starts zdm1radn39b-  then the other numbers (which fall in the group)  am I affected?

I'd say yes.  Also, check the date of manufacture.  If it was made before Sept 2008, it's in there.  Mine was made in May of 2008.  Just got my official letter in the mail.  Going to have it checked out shortly.

what date was this recall issued on?  I JUST had my 600 mile service done on saturday at the dealership- almost 2 HOURS AWAY!!!  How could they not take care of this while I was there?  I'm startin' to get pissed.

[z0mb1e_DUC]

per NHTSA, date that Ducati issued the letter was March 24, 2009. 

Look at the date of manufacture on your frame, if it falls between
ZDM1RADINX9BOOO065, 29th February 2008 & ZDM1RADINX9B011020,  16th September 2008, then you're affected.

dammit mine's in there. i'm gonna have a tire put on soon so i'll see if they can do that at the same time.

[sroberts152]

I guess the recall letter I got last night answered my question.  I'm scheduled for Monday.

oh yeah that's all? i've seen it. just a cable tie would fix that huh?

[w7ck7d]

yeah tie wire will do the job..but just to make sure you can try to look around it maybe theres something else that i didnt see..
