NHTSA received DUCATI NORTH AMERICA’s report on Aug 2, 2010. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
DAMAGE TO THE CABLES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MOTORCYCLE’S THROTTLE OPERATION AND THEREBY REDUCE THE DRIVER’S ABILITY TO CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DUCATI IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 MULTISTRADA 1200 MOTORCYCLES.
THE THROTTLE CABLES MAY COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE UPPER EDGE OF THE RADIATOR DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF THE MOTORCYCLE.
THIS SITUATION COULD CAUSE THE THROTTLE CABLES TO BECOME CHAFED BY THE RADIATOR RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE MOTORCYCLE AND A POTENTIAL HAZARD TO THE RIDER.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
