- Service brakes
Rear brake pedal unexpectedly soft. Brakes bled in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and fluid use (DOT5.1). Brake regains firmness, but quickly looses effectiveness and becomes soft, limiting braking capability. Alternate bleeding method also attempted with similar results. Brake pedal will remain firm for some time, but then returns to soft feel, creating unexpected braking performance.

The rear brake went out twice. I had it fixed under warranty in september of 2013. Now it IS out of warranty and the rear brake IS out again. The company refuses to fix the issue till I pay out of pocket first. The rear brake pedal travels to the floor with no bite at all. I've read on forums that I am not the first to have this issue. *tr

Riding on level road, cruising about 40 mph. front brakes lock and would not release. this pitched me over the handle bars, i.e. Stoppie. the problem was the rear brake pads "disappeared" and the remaining rear pad backing plate caused over heating of rear rotor and rear master cylinder. Red hot. Boiled fluid. upon cool down, (me and the ducati) front brakes released and bike was able to move but without rear brakes. may be a problem with ABS or traction control. bike IS still at shop with replacement of pads, rotor and master. ~ 600+ I'm a bit of a wrench turner and this IS the first time I've seen rear brakes on any vehicle fail at less that 10,000 miles. who uses the back brakes on a motorcycle anyway? I've been riding for 30 years, and I never have. Bike IS 15 days outof warranty. :O( *tr

My son was killed in a crash on I-270 in columbus ohio at the sr 315 interchange. according to an eyewitness he had just passed her about 70-75 mph, in the third lane from the birm out of 5. began struggling with control, she said the rear of the bike was shimmying. the loss of control got progessively worse, he crossed three lanes of traffic and crashed into a guardrail rear end first. he was killed instantly. I have since seen many comments about ducati monster, and mototard 1100's exhibiting what IS called "high speed wobble at 75 to 80 mph. I am concerned that they amy be placing their riders at grave risk. I would like to know if this IS being investigated, or if it warrants and investigation, trooper diehl of the ohp informed me that high toxicolgy was negative, and there was apparently no road debri that would have led to the crash. he said that it IS classified as an unexplained loss of control. he was wearing a helmet and he was an experienced rider. he was 25 years old and a sgt in the marine corp res. With h&s company out of brookpark ohio.
Defect investigations
NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation opened these reviews into vehicles including this one.
- Extended Stopping Distance
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this Preliminary Evaluation (PE) based on twenty-two (22) Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQs) for soft rear brakes caused by air seeping into the rear brake lines of model year (MY) 2012-2020 Ducati Monster, Multistrada, SuperSport, Panigale, Scrambler and Diavel…
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this Preliminary Evaluation (PE) based on twenty-two (22) Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQs) for soft rear brakes caused by air seeping into the rear brake lines of model year (MY) 2012-2020 Ducati Monster, Multistrada, SuperSport, Panigale, Scrambler and Diavel motorcycles.The consumers were alleging that the rear brakes would not properly function unless the rear brake pedal was applied several times or that there was a total loss of rear braking during normal applications, increasing the risk of a crash. In a March 2020 meeting, Ducati indicated that they were aware of certain models in which air may enter the motorcycles' rear braking system through the brake lines, due to exposure to heat from the exhaust system. Although this condition compromises rear braking performance, Ducati stated that they did not consider this to be a safety defect because the front and rear brake systems are hydraulically independent from each other, and a motorcycle's front brake system performs most of the stopping. Additionally, they believed that routine brake fluid replacement would resolve consumers' concerns, however complainants and dealership service technicians reported that, in some cases, after a dealer serviced the rear brake system, the rear brake pedal would feel soft and spongy again (indicating compromised brake performance) less than a year later--well before the recommended two-year brake fluid service interval. As a precaution, Ducati issued a series of technical service bulletins (TSBs) to replace the brake lines with redesigned ones, rerouting them away from the exhaust system.ODI's position is that all of the brakes on a motorcycle are considered necessary for safety. Analysis of the data identified that neither the entire model line nor the entire model year range of motorcycles covered by the investigation were affected, but rather certain sub-models or narrower model year ranges of motorcycles incorporated brake lines with a higher exposure to the heat from the exhaust system. Because of the unique routing of each model's brake line, some motorcycles are more susceptible to the condition than others. As these specific models and model years were most likely to exhibit an increased risk of a crash from the lengthened stopping distance, Ducati converted the previously issued TSBs into a safety recall.After receiving a total of 94 VOQs, ODI is closing this PE with Ducati's safety recall 21V-315. With the recall action taken by Ducati, this investigation is closed. However, the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist on other models or MY vehicles outside of the recall scope. The agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.
