ENGINE
- The defect
- Ducati North America (Ducati) is recalling certain 2021 Multistrada V4 S motorcycles. Excessive wear of the valve guides may cause the valve head to break.
- What it can cause
- A broken valve head may decrease the acceleration and performance of the engine, increasing the risk of crash.
- What the dealer does
- Ducati will notify owners, and the dealer will replace the entire motorcycle engine with another engine, free of charge. The recall began April 23, 2021. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-888-391-5446. Ducati's number for this recall is SRV-RCL-21-002.
- 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 129 vehicles this is a small campaign: 67% 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 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Ducati vehicles have been recalled over the engine 2 times before this, most recently in August 2020 as 20V460000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 March 25, 2021 as campaign 21V212000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
