[Gizmo]

And another from the dealer blog don't know if is happening here as well but I'd assume UK bikes use same parts/assembly as US

DUCATI 1098R, 1098 STREETFIGHTER & 1198S

Ducati North America is recalling 732 units of its model year 2009 1098R, 1098S Streetfighter and 1198S because forks may have possible cracking due to a deformation at the right-hand side fork axle pinch bolt area.

Ducati says it will notify owners and repair the affected motorcycles free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin this month.

I checked with my local dealer (Ducati Leeds) Was advised that the recalls were on frame no's starting with 02.

An Example

apologies I don't read every post

here are the vin numbers of bikes affected

ZDMH704AA8B020786 to ZDMH704AA9B025026
ZDMF100AA8B000068 to ZDMF100AA9B002082

The frame starting 02 bit applies to the 1098 Sam, SF is slightly different

That said of course, this could be a different recall for the other fork leg now... ASSUME NOTHING....
