8Ducati year and model combinations have enough on file to be worth a page here, and between them their owners have filed 70 safety complaints with NHTSA. More of those name the brakes than any other system: 41 of them. The single most complained-about is the 2012 Multistrada 1200 ABS, with 11.
NHTSA holds 99 recall campaigns naming Ducati vehicles, across every model year the agency records rather than only the ones shown here.
Most complained-about Ducati models
Complaints for every published model year of each model added together. A model that sold in larger numbers collects more complaints, and nothing here divides by sales because NHTSA does not publish them.
What goes wrong on a Ducati
The systems named most often across every Ducati complaint on file. One complaint can name more than one system, so these add up to more than the complaint total. "Unknown or other" is excluded: it is what the intake form records when an owner cannot place the failure.
