Ducati North America is recalling certain 2025 Panigale V4 motorcycles due to a potential rear brake issue. Under certain conditions, the rear brake hose could be susceptible to heat damage. If the rear brake hose becomes heat damaged, it may cease properly functioning, which could lead to a loss of rear brake functionality and increase the risk of a crash.
Since the 2025 Panigale V4 line does not make use of any type of linked brake system, Ducati notes that the front brakes remain unaffected, and should still function as expected even if the rear brake issue should arise. However, the rear brake issue is a potential safety concern, so in the interest of safety, Ducati is conducting this product recall.
As of January 16, 2025, which is the date that Ducati filed its official safety recall report with the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the OEM says that it's received zero reports of injuries, accidents, or property damage related to this issue.
