2012 Monster and HyperM Recall

[HotIce]

Sigh! Just got a DNA letter ... Cracked fuel lines in the proximity of the fuel pump attachment  

[HotIce]

Actually, did not read correctly. That applies to ALL 2012 Monsters.

Interesting.

I never got ANY NHTSA recall on the affected fuel tank on the S2R.

Silly question. You are not forced to have the recall work be done by the same dealer where you bought the bike, right?
Or, IOW, a dealer where you did not buy the bike, cannot refuse to perform the recall work, right?

Correct, you are not forced to have the recall work done at the dealer where you purchased the bike.  You can have the recall work done by any Ducati authorized dealer/service.

I received the Ducati recall letter for the crack fuel lines last week and my dealer called me this week about another recall on my Monster Evo 1100 regarding the potential of crack spokes on the rear wheel.  My dealer will perform all the recall work at my 600 mile service later this month.  I believe the spoke recall is limited to the Monster Evo 1100.
