Ducati made a recall or recall for the 2018-2024 production V4 Panigale V4 model and the 2018-2025 production Streetfighter V4.

Quoting from the Indian Autocar page, Thursday, September 18, a total of 393 units were affected due to potential defects in the rear wheel axis of one-sided Awing arms.

This recall is part of a broader global withdrawal that includes the same model. This Italian brand will make this replacement free of charge.

Incident in 2023

Withdrawals stem from an isolated incident in September 2023, when the rear axis broke while the motorcycle was moving, although no wheels were released. Withdrawals will involve checking and potential rear doubles replacement, if necessary.

Ducati India has confirmed to autocar that the Indian market will also be part of this withdrawal. A total of 393 units of Panigale V4 and Streetfighter V4 were affected, and Ducati contacted the affected owner of the VIN model to schedule doubles replacement at the official dealer.

A clear reason for the only recorded incident that occurred in 2023 has not been identified.

Meanwhile in the United States, according to documents submitted to NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), several factors could contribute to double failures, including travel distance, vehicle conditions, and torque applications that were wrong during wheel or chain adjustments.

About 10,000 units in the US were affected, including the Panigale/Streetfighter V4(S) as well as the Panigale V4 R and the top level V4 Superleggera. Nearly 7,000 units in Germany were affected, with reports also emerging from Canada and other international markets.
