What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2022 Ducati Multistrada, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Engine
Reports naming the engine itself — including stalling, misfires, oil consumption, cooling and internal engine components.
From owner reports, verbatim
After 4000 miles the vehicle developed a severe"Stumbling" or misfiring like behavior. It was taken to one dealer and the charcoal canister of the evaporative emission system was full of fuel. The factory technician was unable to repair the problem and it was taken to another dealer where the emission system was replaced. The problem has been undiagnosed and still continues and makes the vehicle un rideable and unsafe. Ducati has been negligent and providing a solution to the problem and I feel the vehicle is unsafe to ride due to the fact of the inconsistent throttle making it unmanageable and I believe there is potential for a fire risk due to the excess fuel being dumped into the system. I can intermittently smell raw fuel and believe there may be a fire risk as well. Several attempts have been taken to have it diagnosed at two different dealers and Ducati has been unresponsive as to any personal request for assistance.
Coasting to a stop and the engine shuts off. Bogging in low gears . Very dangerous in that my motorcycle stalled out 3 times on a major highway when coming up on a traffic jam. I'm contacting the dealer today to report issue. There were no warning lights before the engine shut down. I have over 30 years experience riding motorcycles of different brands and types and had never had this happen.

Rear brake performance is erratic as a function of the unpredictable distance the pedal has to move to be effective.

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.
