The problem
THESE MOTORCYCLES WERE PRODUCED WITH INCORRECT CERTIFICATION LABELS. INCORRECT TIRE RIM DATA IS PRINTED ON THESE LABELS. A TIRE SIZE OF 120/70 ZR MT 3.5X17 RIM AT 32.7 PSI COLD, AND 170/C0 ZR MT 5.50X17 RIM AT 36.9 PSI COLD. THE PROPER RIM SIZE IS MT 3.50X17 AND MT 4.50X17.
The risk
INCORRECT TIRE INFLATION COULD OCCUR INCREASING THE RISK OF A TIRE FAILURE AND POSSIBLE VEHICLE CRASH.
The fix
A NEW CERTIFICATION DATA LABEL WILL BE MAILED TO OWNERS FOR INSTALLATION ON THEIR MOTORCYCLES. IF THE OWNER DESIRES, A DUCATI DEALER CAN INSTALL THIS LABEL FOR THEM.
