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 bike has 12.600 miles and has gone to the dealership for all its work and inspections prior to this brake failure. Rear brake failure, the bike is available for inspection. luckily that I wasn't going fast when it happened I took the bike to the New Haven power sport Ducati dealer they said that shouldn't happen, maybe the manufacturer failed to secure the bolts with the lock tight. the cost to fix the bike at a Ducati dealer is an estimate $6,500.00 but the issue is not the money It could cause the death of a motorcyclist going at a fast speed due to rear brake failure. there was no warning or other symptoms prior to the brake failure only a snapping noise. A rear bolt from the brake rotor came out, scraping the rear wheel hub and pulling the retaining ring between the brake caliper and brake pads failing the motorcycle to get to a stop. Also, the ring retaining that was stuck reached the rear rim creating a deep scratch into the rim. I belong to a Facebook Ducati group and a similar rear brake failure was posted on it.

I have had repeated issues where the rear brake fades during hot weather riding. Also, the rear brake has to be bled fairly often in order to operate. I have read this is a common complaint for my model. The dealer has no input towards a solution.
