Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE REAR BRAKE ON MY MULTISTRADA WAS VERY GOOD AT PURCHASE. THE PERFORMANCE OF THE REAR DEGRADED SLOWLY AT FIRST. THEN, DURING A 2100 MILE TRIP, THE REAR BRAKE FAILED TO FUNCTION WHATSOEVER. I LEARNED THAT DUCATI WOULD REPLACE SOME COMPONENTS OF THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE. HAD THE UPDATED PARTS INSTALLED BY A DUCATI SERVICE TECHNICIAN APRIL OF 2012. MILEAGE ON MY DUCATI WAS ABOUT 7000 AT THAT TIME. UPON PICKING UP THE BIKE FROM SERVICE, THE REAR BRAKE WAS FUNCTIONAL BUT NOT AS GOOD AS WHEN THE BIKE WAS NEW. OVER TIME (5MONTHS) AND MILES (1500) THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD ONCE AGAIN. THE TRAVEL THAT THE PEDAL HAS IS RIDICULOUSLY EXCESSIVE RENDERING THE REAR BRAKE UNRELIABLE TO EFFECTIVELY SLOW AND CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS ON THE "DUCATI MS" SITE IN THE MULTISRADA SECTION THAT MULTIPLE OTHER REAR BRAKE UPGRADED BIKES CONTINUE TO SUFFER FROM DEFECTS RENDERING THE REAR BRAKE USELESS OR NEARLY SO. THERE ARE ALSO PUBLICIZED, PUBLIC ARTICLES SPEAKING ON THE BRAKE LACK OF PERFORMANCE SUBJECT. DUCATI HAS REPORTEDLY COMPLETELY REDESIGNED THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE 2013 MODEL AND HAS ADMITTEDLY DONE SO DUE TO THE POOR PERFORMANCE ON THE 2010-2012 MODELS. EVEN THE UNITS WITH THE DUCATI REAR BRAKE UPDATE. *TR

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
