## What is wrong

ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE FRONT BRAKE HOSE CAN BECOME TRAPPED BETWEEN THE LOWER STEERING FLANGE AND THE STEERING LOCK PEG WHEN THE VEHICLE IS CORNERING.


## What can happen

THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF FRONT BRAKE FLUID PRESSURE AND DAMAGE TO THE BRAKE HOSE, WHICH COULD RUPTURE CAUSING FRONT BRAKE FAILURE.  THIS COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSTALL A RETAINING CLIP ON THE FRONT BRAKE HOSE.  THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2004.  OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT DUCATI AT 1\-408\-253\-0499.
