Plastic gas tank has expanded and warped, causing tank vents to stop working effectively. Gasoline now leaks and sprays extensively from the top of the tank, covering the tank and surrounding areas with gasoline. Gasoline also leaks extensively from the overflow tube onto my garage floor. The expansion has also made it very difficult to access the front tank release latch. I mainly observe this while the motorcycle IS stationary in my garage. The gasoline fumes are always present in the garage. While I have not observed it, I suspect this leaking and spraying also happens while riding on streets and highways. The constant presence of gasoline outside the tank IS unsafe. On 3-17-17, the ducati dealer recommended that I replace the plastic tank with another plastic tank for $1,200. That IS not an adequate solution. These plastic tanks expand and warp over time. It's just a matter of time before the replacement tank expands and warps.

The plastic fuel tank on this and other ducati motorcycles expand with generally available north american gasoline, such that the tank cannot be attached to the front attachment at the ignition key area, near the handle bars. This makes the fuel tank not secured to the forward part of the motorcycle. This leaves only one attachment, at the rear hinge, so if the motorcycle crashes or IS dropped the forward part of the fuel tank will pop away from the frame, probably leaking and susceptible to rupture being plastic. Ducati IS aware of the problem and replaced these defective tanks (including mine) pursuant to a class action settlement. Unfortunately ducati used other also defective tanks (same expansion defect with no warning of fuel not to use - if that IS the problem) to replace the original defective expanded tanks. Ducati refused my request it rectify the problem. My motorcycle IS now dangerously defective, a fire hazard, not suitable for use and would fail a safety inspection making it unlawful to operate on hawaii roads.

After several tank replacement by ducati the problem persists. Tank keeps swelling and puts stress on the latch so that it can't be unlatch to get to the battery or for service . Tank also doesn't sit firm on frame at pik swelling time . Tank also leaks fuel at bottom around seal while swelling IS at max. Fuel goes all over the engine and floor .dealer sales k 100 fuel additive for ethanol problems since ducati persist on not changing tank for a improved material. *tr

Plastic fuel tank IS swollen or warped making it hard to lift the tank for service. Also, tank doesn't sit correctly on the frame, the rubber frame bumpers seem to have moved outward enough to not sit flush with the frame. This seems to be an ongoing problem with numerous models in the ducati line with plastic fuel tanks. *Tr

I own a 2005 ducati S2R 800 motorcycle. my fuel tank has expanded beyond the point where the paint has started to crack and it has become difficult to open the latch to get access to the battery and other components. I have already heard that this IS not an uncommon issue with certain ducati fuel tanks. ducati has refused to cover the tank damage and after speaking with the mechanic, he told me that the tank will continue to expand and possibly leak more gasoline as time goes on. I don't want to imagine what could possibly happen as the tank continues to expand and gasoline continues to leak. *tr

The gas tank on my 2005 ducati monster S2R IS expanded and IS causing problems cosmetically, in its functionality and with my personal safety. Firstly the steering stops are maxed out and my handlebar controls hit the tank causing a safety issue. The tank IS visibly warped along both sides. The ducati monster S2R tank should only hold 3 gallons when full however my tank can carry 3.4 gallons. The paint IS cracking around the tank latch which IS pressing into the cap around the antenna port. The controls hitting the tank while riding can pinch a riders hand causing a crash. The expansion of the tank can cause a leak of the gasoline causing not only a damaging effect on the environment but also a serious risk of fire and injury to me. Also the tank can cause pressure to the rear seat latch causing it to pop off during riding thus causing a crash and injury. I believe the only acceptable solution would be replacement or reimbursement for a replacement to be purchased by a local dealer or myself. *Tr

I have not modified my motorcycle except for some cosmetic changes. I have made no modifications to the fuel tank or fuel pump. I took the bike to the dealer who submitted a claim to ducati north america (the importer/factory). to date, I have not heard back about the claim. I am very concerned as to the safety of this motorcycle now. the tank's swelling has made it so the handlebars do not turn correctly. if the tank swells enough, it will split open and I am concerned this will happen while I am riding. *Tr

My motorcycle has a plastic gas tank that has started to expand. The outside dimensions of the tank have increased to point that the original rubber guards no longer touch the frame. The handlebars hit the tank when attempting a full turn to the right - this did not happen before. Cosmetically, I have noticed the appearance of pimples on the surface of the tank. I have not modified my motorcycle at all - it IS completely stock. I am extremely concerned about the safety of my motorcycle as I do not know when my gas tank could split open. The controls of the vehicle have also been jeopardized as the handlebars do not turn properly. *Tr

I have a 2005 ducati monster s2r800. The fuel tank began to distort in shape. It no longer fit properly on the frame. The exterior started showing warping, and "pimple" like blemishes. The tank expanded far enough where it started to rub the ignition key housing. Eventually the tank had a very likely chance of leaking once the key housing rubs through the tank. ducati replaced the fuel tank under emission warranty .the dealership could not reassure me that the replacement tank IS of a non warping material. *Tr

Dear sir/madam- my 2005 ducati monster S2R has developed a serious issue with the gas tank. the tank IS plastic (first year ducati utilized a plastic tank design) and has developed what can only be described as large "blisters" on the surface of the tank. also, the tanks overall size has significantly increased, as if it IS swelling. so much so in fact, that the rubber mounts that support the tank on the frame no longer line up with the frame but rather hang off of it, placing what I would presume to be undue pressure on the small latch that secures the tank to the frame. I am concerned that at some point in the future, this distorted tank shape will lead to a failure of the tank to contain the fuel or that the tank will come off while riding. *tr

The plastic fuel tank on my 2005 ducati monster IS swelling. the rubber mounts that set on the frame are now almost to the point where they don't contact the frame. there are noticeable ripples on the side of the tank. it has also affected the tank closing latch to the point where it has to be manipulated to lift the tank for maintenance versus just a simple lifting of the latch w/ no effort. I am very concerned that the continued swelling will eventually cause the tank to separate and leak fuel. *tr

My motorcycle has a plastic gas tank that has begun expanding/swelling. the dimensions of the tank have increased enough that it no longer sits properly on the frame rails and can shift to the left or right, causing it to rub against the ignition and damage the paint. additionally, the tank has swollen enough to presses directly against the ignition switch from the rear. it previously had at least an inch clearance that allowed the tank to open and close without problems (it IS on a hinge), but now it IS almost impossible to engage the latch, as it IS wedged against the ignition module I have not significantly modified my motorcycle except for some cosmetic changes. I have made no modifications to the fuel system at all, including the fuel tank or fuel pump. I took the bike to the dealer who submitted a claim to ducati north america (the importer/factory). I am waiting to hear as to whether the tank will be replaced. even if it IS replaced, I have no faith that the replacement will perform any better, or that it will be replaced when this happens again. I've become very concerned as to the safety of this motorcycle. if the tank continues to swell, it will contact the handlebars and impinge on the turning radius. additionally, I'm concerned that the tank will reach a point of catastrophic failure, causing it to burst during use, resulting in a potentially serious situation. *Tr

The plastic fuel tank on my 2005 ducati S2R 800 IS swelling/deforming. the swelling IS causing cosmetic and structural problems with the fuel tank. cosmetically, there are ripples and bulges all over the tank. structurally, the tank has swollen so much that the handlebars hit the tank and steering IS limited. the tank has also swollen so much that the tank support pads on the underside of the tank barely make contact with the frame of the motorcycle. additionally, the tank has swollen around the ignition area such that the ignition fascia IS rubbing a hole through the tank itself. finally, the front tank latch IS almost impossible to release and or re-latch due to the swelling. *Tr

After opening this PE, we met with subject owners, dealers, and Ducati North America personnel.We learned that the subject leakage is limited to the Multistrada line alone and is unrelated to composite fuel tank deformation.Rather it stems from the inability of the original sealing O-ring to conform to the tank's relatively rough sealing surface.Recall 11V-020 provides a new X section O-ring to address the Multistrada issue and with that recall, this PE is closed for the Multistrada.Meanwhile, unlike the Multistrada, the Monster line fails to exhibit a current safety defect trend and, on that basis, this PE is closed for those models as well.
