Change of title, total loss, theft, and failure to redeem package
Compensation Packages are attached to the vehicle. If a bike is re-sold, eligibility for the
complementary maintenance is transferred to the new owner. Regardless of whether
redeemed or not, the package cannot be transferred to other bikes.
In the event of vehicle theft or total loss, the Customer shall not be entitled to any
compensation. The same is true in the event any services are not carried out by September 30,
2023.
Obligation to comply with routine maintenance schedule
The services must be carried out according to the intervals of the maintenance schedule for
the Multistrada V4, respecting it in its entirety without anticipating or delaying services by
more than 1 month and/or by 600 miles/1,000 km. We take this opportunity to remind you
that each service must be recorded through DDS 2.0/3.0 in order to prove that the bike has
been correctly serviced (see SRV-SRB-19-030 bulletin).
Refundable services
Refundable services are as follows:




First Service at 600 miles/1,000 km
First Annual Service
Second Annual Service, including oil change as published in the Ducati scheduled
maintenance intervals.

PHASE 1 of 3 - Dealer operating procedure to check eligibility
Before performing service and applying for reimbursement, it is the Dealer’s responsibility to
ensure that:






The VIN is included in Annex 1
Safety campaign CR207 has been completed and warranty claim has been submitted
Vehicle has undergone all services and inspections as per maintenance schedule
Requested service complies with the intervals of the maintenance schedule and is not
in advance or delayed by more than 1 month and/or 600 miles/1,000 km
Vehicle is operating and in good working order (for instance, it does not require any
changes as would make it impossible to comply with expected refund timing).

NOTE
If a vehicle is not operating or in good working order and as such not eligible for the
regular scheduled maintenance, the Customer will first need to have it repaired at his/her
charge or reviewed for warranty repair.
NOTE
Please remember to enter the following text in the Service/Repair Order during the
check-in process to indicate that vehicle is to undergo free service: “Compensation
Package under campaign CR207”.
NOTE
If the above procedure and requirements are not complied with, your Service Area
Manager may reject the warranty claim or a warranty claim that is initially approved may
be charged back to Dealer at a later time.
PHASE 2 of 3 – Service execution and entry into DDS 2.0/3.0
After ensuring that the requirements of PHASE 1 are met, Dealer may:





Inform the Customer that service will be performed free of charge
Perform service operations
Enter service details into DDS 2.0/3.0
Deliver the vehicle back to the Customer

NOTE
As a general rule, we would ask you to obtain a pre-approval before performing the
repairs. However, as the service involved in this case is part of routine maintenance,
Dealer may proceed to perform service if PHASE 1 requirements are met. Dealer will
then submit a reimbursement claim to Ducati (PHASE 3).
