Ducati St2: Gearbox Transmission Shaft Sprocket May Become Detached

Ducati ST2 Recall Summary Ducati is recalling 697 ST2 motorcycles because the sprocket stop plate on the gearbox transmission shaft may wear prematurely and allow the sprocket to detach. This could cause loss of power to the rear wheel, or in rare cases, the chain could become caught on the wheel. The fix involves replacing the sprocket stop plate with an improved version.
