You're not dreaming it, and you didn't time-travel, either; at least, not if the concept of this recall looks familiar to you. What you may instead be recalling (like I did) is that in January 2025, Ducati also had a recall for potential rear brake failure on certain Panigale and Streetfighter V4s.
While the recall I'm about to tell you about is related to the one from a year ago, it's both an expansion and a new recall that supersedes the one from January 2025. So if you own one of these bikes, you'll want to read this.
On January 28, 2026, Ducati North America filed a safety recall notice with the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regarding its 2025 and 2026 Panigale/S and Streetfighter/S V4s. The issue relates to the portion of the rear brake hose located between the ABS control unit and the rear brake caliper, which may not have sufficient heat insulation from its proximity to the exhaust manifolds.
