Recalls apply to specific vehicles, not to every vehicle of a model year. Check your VIN with NHTSA or your manufacturer's dealer to confirm whether a recall affects your vehicle.

Recall campaignsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

The defect: THESE MOTORCYCLES WERE PRODUCED WITH INCORRECT CERTIFICATION LABELS. INCORRECT TIRE RIM DATA IS PRINTED ON THESE LABELS. A TIRE SIZE OF 120/70 ZR MT 3.5X17 RIM AT 32.7 PSI COLD, AND 170/C0 ZR MT 5.50X17 RIM AT 36.9 PSI COLD. THE PROPER RIM SIZE IS MT 3.50X17 AND MT 4.50X17.
The risk: INCORRECT TIRE INFLATION COULD OCCUR INCREASING THE RISK OF A TIRE FAILURE AND POSSIBLE VEHICLE CRASH.
The remedy: A NEW CERTIFICATION DATA LABEL WILL BE MAILED TO OWNERS FOR INSTALLATION ON THEIR MOTORCYCLES. IF THE OWNER DESIRES, A DUCATI DEALER CAN INSTALL THIS LABEL FOR THEM.

What a recall is

Safety recall
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
