- Issue revolves around front brake pads

Ducati is recalling 97 units of the 2017 1299 Superleggera in the US over a potential issue with the brake pads. The affected models were manufactured between 7 September 2017 and 7 December 2017.
According to the recall document, the front brake pads (Brembo PN.07.9882.36) may corrode, potentially causing the front brake pads friction material to detach from the backing plate. The defective pads can increase vehicle stopping distances. This may increase the risk of driver injury and/or vehicle damage.
Ducati will notify owners of the affected motorcycle and the dealers will replace the front brake pads with new (Brembo PN.07.9882.39) units free of charge. The recall is expected to begin from 20 June 2020.
The company stated in the recall notice that due to a defect in the production process carried out by the braking system manufacturer, it is necessary to replace the front brake pads for the above-indicated model. The recall notice further added that no defect reports have been submitted to Ducati either from the customer network or internally from the factory.
