ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY:CABLES
- The defect
- Ducati North America (Ducati) is recalling certain 2018-2021 Scrambler 1100 motorcycles. The exhaust valve cable could contact the main positive battery wire and potentially short-circuit.
- What it can cause
- An electrical short-circuit increases the risk of fire.
- What the dealer does
- Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will install a new cable guide and self-locking cable tie to the exhaust valve cable, free of charge. The recall began January 22, 2021. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-888-391-5446. Ducati's number for this recall is SRV-RCL-20-003.
- 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 1,072 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 59% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ducati vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 6 times before this, most recently in October 2019 as 19V780000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 21V361000 (exterior lighting).
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 December 15, 2020 as campaign 20V781000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
