2018 DUCATI SUPERSPORT Complaints

THERE IS AN ON GOING AND VERY WIDELY KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE DUCATI SUPERSPORT 939 S & NON-S MODELS - VIBRATING MIRRORS. WHEN THROTTLING TO SPEEDS OF 30+MPH ON THE STREET AND FREEWAYS THE VIBRATING ISSUE STARTS TO HAPPEN. I HAVE ALREADY EXPRESSED CONCERN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A REPLACEMENT FIX FOR IT WAS ISSUED BUT STILL NOT RESOLVED. THE FACT THAT THAT MIRRORS ARE NOT STABLE UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS MEANS THEY DO NOT COMPLY WITH USA, EU OR U.K. VEHICLE REGULATIONS. THE LOSS OF REARWARD VISION IS CLASSED AS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS A WHOLE DISCUSSION REGARDING THIS ISSUE ON THE DUCATI SUPERSPORT 939 FORUMS. LINK: "HTTPS://WWW.DUCATISUPERSPORT939.NET/THREADS/MIRROR-VIBRATION-SATISFACTION.9730/PAGE-10."

THE REAR VIEW MIRRORS WERE REPLACED FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NO. 18V-793 RECALL. THE RECALL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE MIRROR PROBLEMS STILL PERSIST AND THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN THE PROBLEM. THEY PERFORM THE SAME AS BEFORE THE RECALL REPLACEMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 DUCATI SUPERSPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HAD TO BLEED THE REAR BRAKES THREE TIMES WITHIN THE PAST YEAR. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE FAILURE ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINE RAN TOO CLOSE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKE CABLE HAD HYDRAULIC FLUID IN IT, WHICH BECAME HOT AND CAUSED AIR TO ENTER. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE REAR BRAKES TO MALFUNCTION. AZ MOTORCYCLES (15500 NORTH HAYDEN ROAD, SCOTTSDALE, AZ 85260, (480) 609-1800) SERVICED THE BRAKES, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE AND SUGGESTED THAT THE CONTACT CONTINUE TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,386.
