Ducati is recalling 122 XDIAVEL S motorcycles because a manufacturing error in the rear wheel rim hub could allow the wheel to be installed incorrectly, potentially causing noise and loss of traction while riding. Ducati will inspect the rear wheel installation on affected vehicles and either add error-proof inserts to secure it properly or replace the wheel rim entirely if it was installed wrong. This recall affects motorcycles distributed in the United Kingdom.

Remedy: Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and check for proper installation of the rear wheel rim on wheel shaft. If the wheel is installed correctly fit no.4 error-proof inserts and refit...
