## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2021283](/recalls/tc/2021283.md), 2021-05-13: Brakes. Issue: On certain motorcycles, the rear brake hose could become damaged by heat and fail. If this happens, there would be a sudden loss of rear brakes.  Safety Risk: Reduced braking can cause an extended stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: Ducati will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to replace the rear brake hose.
- [2021274](/recalls/tc/2021274.md), 2021-05-07: Brakes. Issue: On certain motorcycles, air may seep into the rear brake system over time. If this happens, there could be reduced rear braking.  Safety Risk: Reduced braking could cause an extended stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: Ducati will notify owners by mail and instruct you take your motorcycle to a dealer to install a new rear brake hose.
- [2018659](/recalls/tc/2018659.md), 2018-11-28: Powertrain. On certain motorcycles, the shift knob may not have been properly attached to the shift lever and could loosen while riding. If this were to occur, an operator  may not be able to change gears, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the torque of the shift knob. If the shift knob is loose, the dealer will replace the entire shift lever.
- [2017637](/recalls/tc/2017637.md), 2017-12-18: Brakes. On certain motorcycles, a crack within the polyphenilene sulphide \(PPS\) piston of the front brake master cylinder could occur. This could result in the master cylinder to not be able to generate sufficient hydraulic pressure, which could lead to a loss of braking capability of the front brake, increasing stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.  Correction: Dealers will replace the PPS piston with one made from aluminum.
