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

- [2020629](/recalls/tc/2020629.md), 2020-12-17: Electrical. Issue: On certain motorcycles, the exhaust valve cable could make contact with the main battery wiring. This could damage the wiring and cause a short circuit.  Safety Risk: A short circuit could create the risk of a fire.  Corrective Actions: Ducati will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to install a cable guide and secure the exhaust butterfly valve cable.
- [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.
