What is wrong?

Under certain conditions, due to a combination of vehicle speed and engine RPM, vibration can result in unclear visibility of the reflected image in the mirrors.

We request that you contact your authorized Ducati dealer and schedule an appointment, so that the required service can be performed without delay. The repair should take approximately 30 minutes. Additional time may be required depending on dealer scheduling.

Remedy parts to conduct the mirror replacement will become available in February of 2019. A second mailing will be sent at that time, notifying you of parts availability. Upon receipt of the second notice you should contact your dealer to make an appointment for the update. Ducati is making every effort to minimize this delay.
