Owner report 10336824 · 2010-06-17 (June 17, 2010)
THE PLASTIC/COMPOSITE GAS TANK/SEAT COMPONENT IS CHANGING SHAPE (EXPANDING) OVER TIME. THE FIRST SIGN WAS FUEL LEAKING AROUND THE FUEL PUMP SEALS, SLOW AT FIRST, THEN DANGEROUS LEVELS. THE SEAT PAD, WHICH ATTACHES TO THE TANK, CANNOT BE PROPERLY SECURED DUE TO THE SHIFTING OF THE BOLT LOCATIONS. THE TANK/SEAT ITSELF CANNOT BE PROPERLY SECURED INTO THE FRAME NOW, MAKING IT HAZARDOUS TO RIDE. LOCAL DUCATI DEALER IS NOT RESPONSIVE TO THE ISSUE. *TR
