Owner report 10211027 · 2007-12-06 (December 6, 2007)
I PURCHASED A NEW 2007 DUCATI GT1000 MOTORCYCLE IN LONGWOOD, FLORIDA IN JULY 2006. SINCE THAT TIME IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE TO FIX AN ENGINE IDLE PROBLEM; THE VEHICLE WILL NOT IDLE CORRECTLY AND DIES WHEN STOPPING AT STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS, FORCING A RE-START. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR THIS ISSUE WAS APRIL 2007 FOR THREE (3) WEEKS. AT THAT TIME, THE SHOP REPLACED THE "STEPPER" MOTOR AND IT RAN ADEQUATELY FOR A FEW MONTHS. IN SEPTEMBER, THE SYMPTOMS RETURNED AND WORSENED. I…

Recall history
1 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.
07V017000 · Fuel System, Gasoline:Delivery:Hoses, Lines/Piping, And Fittings
Reported: 2007-01-24 (January 24, 2007)
ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE FASTENERS FROM THE FUEL LINE TO THE FUEL FILLER WERE NOT TIGHTENED PROPERLY. THE FUEL PUMP HOSE INSIDE THE FUEL TANK MAY SEPARATE FROM THE FUEL FILTER. THIS CONDITION WILL STOP THE ENGINE FROM RUNNING.
Consequence: IF THE ENGINE STOPPED WHILE THE MOTORCYCLE WAS BEING DRIVEN, IT COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP TO FUEL FILTER HOSE AND FASTENERS TO PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM STOPPING. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 21, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DUCATI AT 1-800-424-9153.
