ENGINE
- The defect
- Ducati North America (Ducati) is recalling certain 2021 Streetfighter V4 and Streetfighter V4 S motorcycles. The generator rotor (flywheel) may break, damaging the generator cover and causing oil leakage from the engine.
- What it can cause
- Leaking oil may drip into the path of the rear tire, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- All affected vehicles are still in dealer inventory. Dealers will inspect the production dates on the generator rotors (flywheels) and replace them, as necessary. The recall began August 12, 2020. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-888-391-5446. Ducati's number for this recall is SRV-RCL-20-002.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 156 vehicles this is a small campaign: 64% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Ducati vehicles have been recalled over the engine once before this, most recently in September 2019 as 19V675000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 25V570000 (power train).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ducati North America with NHTSA on August 6, 2020 as campaign 20V460000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
