2007 DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC Recalls, Complaints & Safety

THE STOCK PLASTIC GAS TANK EXPANDED AND IT COMES OUT OF IT'S INTENDED POSITION.

2007 DUCATI SPORT 1000S - GAS TANK HAS BEEN DEFORMED. IT NO LONGER SITS PROPERLY IN THE MOUNTING POINTS ON THE SIDE. IT HAS EXPANDED BEYOND THE POINT OF SITTING PROPERLY IN THE MOUNTING POINTS IN THE FRONT. THE TANK NOW RESTS UNSECURED ON THE FRAME AND WILL SHIFT AND TEETER FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHILE THE BIKE IS IN MOTION.

GAS TANK DEFORMED AND WAS LOOSE. HAD IT REPLACED ONCE BY THE DEALER. NOW TWO YEARS LATER THE REPLACED TANK IS DEFORMED AND WILL BE LOOSE. *TR

THE FUEL TANK ON MY MOTORCYCLE HAS SPREAD AND DISTORTED ENOUGH THAT IT HAS FALLEN OFF THE FRAME OF THE MOTORCYCLE. WHILE RIDING THE MOTORCYCLE AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED, WIND WILL ACTUALLY LIFT THE FUEL TANK UP AND THE RIDER MUST HOLD IT IN PLACE SO IT DOES NOT SEPARATE COMPLETELY FROM THE VEHICLE. I WAS IN FEAR FOR MY SAFETY WHEN RIDING MY MOTORCYCLE EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER INSISTS THAT DUCATI SEES THIS AS A NORMAL CONDITION. I PUSHED THE ISSUE WITH THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE REFUSED MY LATEST REQUEST FOR A REPLACEMENT FUEL TANK UNDER WARRANTY (GOOD FAITH OR OTHERWISE). THE NEW REPAIR PROVIDED WAS TO INSTALL A LARGER BRACKET ON THE FRAME OF THE MOTORCYCLE TO TRY AND RETAIN THE DEFECTIVE TANK. THIS DOES NOT SOLVE THE ORIGINAL ISSUE OF A POORLY MANUFACTURED AND FAULTY FUEL TANK ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL TANK IS SPREADING AND IS NOW LOOSE ON IT'S MOUNTS. POSSIBLE FOR IT TO LIFT AT THE FRONT OF THE TANK. THIS IS UNSAFE AS IT COULD COME LOOSE WHILE DRIVING/RIDING AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR LOSS OF CONTROL. ALSO POSES A RISK OF HAVING FUEL LEAKING EITHER WHILE RIDING OR PARKED WHICH I COULD BE FINED FOR. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT IS JUST BEING PATCHED UP AND NOT RECTIFIED BY DUCATI. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM SOLVED BY MYSELF AND OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. LEAKING FUEL IS ALSO A SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE AS WELL. *TR

FUEL TANK (PLASTIC) HAS SWOLLEN OND NO LONGER ATTACHES TO THE FRAME OF THE MOTORCYCLE ON THE SIDES. TANK MAY COME OFF IN AN ACCIDENT OR PERHAPS RIDING. THIS COULD BE VERY SERIOUS WITH FIRE, INJURY, LOSS OF CONTROL. *TT

THE TANK ON MY 2007 DUCATI SPORT 1000 BIPOSTO HAS SPREAD HALF AN INCH ON EACH SIDE OF THE TANK. THE RUBBER PART OF THE MOUNT HAS EXTENDED ALMOST PASSED THE METAL BRACKET, MAKING IT LOOSE AND EXTREMELY UNSAFE. *TT

1. I NOTICED DIMPLES ON THE TOP OF MY GAS TANK AND THEN CHECKED THE MOUNTING BRACKETS FOR THE GAS TANK. THE GAS TANK COULD BE PULLED COMPLETELY OFF THE MOTORCYCLE WITHOUT MUCH EFFORT. 2. THIS IS A FAILURE THAT CANNOT RECTIFY ITSELF AND SLOWLY DEGRADES MORE AND MORE. 3. THE MOTORCYCLE WAS TAKEN INTO A DUCATI SERVICE SHOP AND THEY "SHIMMED" THE GAS TANK BRACKET TO PREVENT IT FROM BEING ABLE TO REMOVE IT COMPLETELY. THE TANK WAS STILL LOOSE, BUT COULD NOT BE REMOVED COMPLETELY. SINCE THE SHIMMING OF THE BRACKETS, THE TANK HAS WARPED AND SPREAD FURTHER AND IS LOOSER THAN WHEN ORIGINALLY SHIMMED. THIS CAUSES A SHAKING OF THE GAS TANK AT NORMAL OPERATING SPEED WHEN MY LEG COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE GAS TANK. *TT

FUEL TANK IS SPREADING AND IS NOW LOOSE ON IT'S MOUNTS. POSSIBLE FOR IT TO LIFT AT THE FRONT OF THE TANK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC 1000 MOTORCYCLE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, THE FUEL TANK WAS ABNORMALLY STRETCHED DUE TO FUEL LINE TENSION. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V017000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: DELIVERY: HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO REFERRED THE CONTACT TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR SERVICE. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 3,600.

IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE POLYCARBONATE FUEL TANK ON THE MOTORCYCLE HAS SAGGED OR SPREAD, MAKING THE FRONT OF THE TANK LOOSE. WHEN THE TANK SPREAD, THE FRONT GROMMETS NO LONGER MAKE CONTACT WITH THE TANK, MAKING IT LOOSE. THIS POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. THIS FAILURE DID NOT HAPPEN ALL AT ONCE, BUT OVER TIME. *TR

FUEL TANK EXPANDS AND DEFORMS WITH THE PRESENCE OF FUEL IN THE TANK. THE EXPANSION CAUSES THE TANK UNSEAT FROM THE MOUNTING BRACKETS. THE RESULT IS THAT THE TANK MAY FALL OF THE BIKE. THE POSSIBILITY OF AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE FUEL SYSTEM IS HIGH. STRAPS HAVE BEEN PLACED ON FUEL TANK IN ORDER TO KEEP THE TANK FROM FALLING OFF. *TR

GAS TANK IS DEFECTIVE AND ALREADY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS REPLACED WITH THE SAME EXACT TANK AND I EXPECT IT TO FAIL AND HOPEFULLY NOT WHILE I AM ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

PURCHASED A 2007 DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC IN EARLY 2008. AFTER 4 MONTHS OF RIDING AND TAKING GOOD CARE OF THE BIKE, THE TANK STARTED TO GET DEFORMED AND SPREAD TREMENDOUSLY. LUCKILY, THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED IT AUTOMATICALLY. A YEAR LATER, THE REPLACEMENT TANK GOT DEFORMED AS WELL TO THE POINT THAT IT WAS PRETTY DANGEROUS. THE TANK IS ATTACHED TO THE BIKE WITH 3 POINTS. THE FIRST ONE IS BELOW THE SEAT, AND THE OTHER TWO ARE ON EACH SIDE OF THE TANK. WHEN THE REPLACEMENT TANK SPREAD, THE TWO SIDE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE TANK AND THE BIKE WERE LOOSE, WHICH MEANT THAT THE TANK WAS STILL ATTACHED AT ONE POINT. HAVING SAID THAT, IT SEEMED TO BE VERY DANGEROUS AS IT COULD HAVE GOTTEN LOOSE WHILE RIDING, AND PROBABLY WOULD HAVE CAUSED A CATASTROPHE. ANYWAY, THE TANK WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN, PROBABLY WITH THE SAME UNSOLVED TANK PROBLEM. *TR

GAS TANK ON A 2007 DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC 1000 MOTORCYCLE. THE TANK HAS SPREAD AND WARPED WHICH HAS CAUSED IT TO COME LOOSE ON THE FRAME OF THE BIKE AND BECOME DEFORMED. BECAUSE THE TANK DOES NOT FIT PROPERLY IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE TANK TO COME OFF WHILE RIDING. I HAVE HAD A DEALER "SHIM" THE TANK SO IT IS MORE SECURE BUT THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE TANK WON'T GET WORSE AND REQUIRE ANOTHER "SHIM" TO KEEP IT IN PLACE. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ON-LINE I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS ISSUE IS PREVALENT WITH THESE MOTORCYCLES. *TR

I PURCHASED A DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC GT1000 IN EARLY 2007. TANK DEFORMED DURING REGULAR USE. CONTACTED DUCATI DEALER WHICH, AFTER SOME BACK AND FORTH, AGREED TO REPLACE THE TANK WITH A NEW ONE. ALREADY AT THAT TIME I WAS WARNED THAT THE NEW TANK IS THE SAME AND THE ISSUE WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE TANK DEFORMED AGAIN AND I JUST (NOVEMBER 2010) VISITED THE DEALER AGAIN. THIS TIME, THE DEALER WAS VERY HELPFUL. THEY TOOK MEASUREMENTS (TANK SPREAD BY 2 CM), RELOCATED THE HOLDING BRACKETS TO TEMPORARILY SECURE THE TANK BETTER AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS I RECEIVED A CALL THAT AN ORDER FOR A NEW TANK HAS BEEN PLACED. NO CHANGES TO THE TANK HAVE BEEN MADE, SO I FULLY EXPECT THIS ISSUE TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT SOME PEOPLE DECIDED TO COAT THE INSIDE OF THE TANK. HOWEVER, THAT WOULD BE MY EXPENSE. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT FIVE YEARS AFTER PURCHASE DATE, DUCATI WOULD NO LONGER SUPPORT FREE REPLACEMENTS. ONCE THE TANK STARTS SPREADING IT BECOMES VERY LOOSE AND ACTUALLY STARTS INTERFERING WITH STEERING. WHEN TURNING THE HANDLE BARS TO THE RIGHT, THE TOP OF THE FORK ACTUALLY TOUCHES THE TANK. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, AUTHORIZATION FOR THE REPLACEMENT IS GIVEN BY DUCATI NORTH AMERICA. HOWEVER NOTHING IS DONE TO SOLVE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR A CALL FROM THE DEALER TO HAVE THE NEW (3RD) TANK INSTALLED ON MY BIKE. *TR

PLASTIC FUEL TANK ON 2007 DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC MOTORCYCLE IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH FUEL. I HAVE HAD THE TANK REPLACED TWICE SINCE THE BIKE WAS NEW AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS WITH THE NEW REPLACEMENT TANKS. FUEL CAUSES THE TANKS TO DEFORM AND LEAK, CREATING A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC 1000S WITH PLASTIC FUEL TANK. THE FUEL TANK HAS DEFORMED (SPREAD) TO THE POINT THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO LIFT THE FRONT OF THE FUEL TANK OFF THE FRONT MOUNTS WITHOUT REMOVING THE REAR RETAINING BOLT. THE SINGLE BOLT AT THE REAR OF THE TANK IS THE ONLY SECURE MOUNT FOR THE ENTIRE TANK. I KNOW FROM OTHER OWNERS THAT IF I GET A WARRANTY REPLACEMENT FOR THE TANK THAT THE REPLACEMENT IT IS MADE OF THE SAME MATERIAL AND IT WILL ONLY DEFORM AGAIN. WHAT'S THE POINT OF REPLACING IT? *TR

DUCATI SPORTCLASSIC PLASTIC GAS TANK KEEP EXPANDING AND THESE CAUSE THE UNLATCHING AND BECOME LOOSE. *TR

I HAVE A 07 DUCATI SPORTS CLASSIC AND MY PLASTIC FUEL TANK IS EXPANDING, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED WITH THE SAME DEFECTED TANK. ALL I CAN DO NOW IS FILE THIS COMPLAINT AND REGISTER THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK ON MY MOTORCYCLE IS WARPING OUT OF SHAPE. THE PROBLEM HAS SIMPLY DEVELOPED SINCE I PURCHASED THE BIKE LAST YEAR--I'VE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT, DROPPED THE BIKE, ETC. MY RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT THE WARPING PROBLEM MAY BE CAUSED BY THE TANK MATERIAL (PLASTIC) REACTING TO THE ETHANOL IN GASOLINE. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THE PROBLEM AFFECTS SEVERAL DIFFERENT MODELS OF DUCATI MOTORCYCLES DATING BACK APPROXIMATELY 5 YEARS. DUCATI HAS REPLACED SOME DEFECTIVE TANKS ONLY TO HAVE THE REPLACEMENTS FAIL AS WELL. I'VE READ SEVERAL ACCOUNTS OF DUCATI TANKS EXPANDING TO THE POINT WHERE THEY COME LOOSE FROM THEIR MOUNTING BRACKETS. SO FAR, MINE HAS ONLY WARPED OUT OF SHAPE, ALTHOUGH IT APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE OVER TIME. THIS CERTAINLY PRESENTS A SAFETY RISK. *TR

SPREADING AND BUBBLING ISSUES IN MY GAS TANK. *TR

2007 DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC 1000 BIPOSTO. THE GAS TANK ON MY MOTORCYCLE HAS BECOME DEFORMED AND MISSHAPEN. THE DEFORMING OF THE GAS TANK HAS RESULTED IN THE TANK FALLING OFF IT'S MOUNTING POINTS ON THE FRAME AND ALLOWING THE TANK TO DETACH FROM THE MOTORCYCLE IN THE FRONT. IT IS ALSO DISTORTED ENOUGH THAT THE RIGHT HANDLEBAR SWITCH ASSEMBLY ALMOST CONTACTS THE GAS TANK WHEN TURNED TO THE FULL RIGHT STOP. THE STEERING STOPS HAVE NOT BEEN ADJUSTED SINCE NEW AND ARE IN THE SAME POSITION AS THE LEFT STOPS. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE GAS TANK REPLACED ONCE ON MY MOTORCYCLE DUE TO THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE SUBMITTED ANOTHER WARRANTY CLAIM WITH DUCATI BUT AS OF THIS POINT IT HAS BEEN 2 MONTHS AND THEY CONTINUE TO DENY A REPAIR FOR MY MOTORCYCLE. MY LOCAL DEALER CLAIMS DUCATI IS STALLING IN REPLYING TO THE PROBLEM AND EVEN WHEN CONTACTED DIRECTLY, DUCATI CUSTOMER SERVICE IS RELUCTANT TO WARRANTY THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

PURCHASED 2007 DUCATI S1000 NEW IN FEB. 2008 FROM DEALERSHIP. SINCE PURCHASED FUEL TANK HAS BEEN SPREADING AND I NEEDED TO SHIM TANK BRACKETS 1/4" ON BOTH SIDES TO SECURELY HOLD TANK IN PLACE . TANK ALSO HAS BUBBLED ON OUTSIDE UNDERNEATH PAINT ON UPPER RIGHT CORNER, I BELIEVE FROM GAS FUMES PENETRATING THROUGH PLASTIC. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. HOW FAR THE TANK WILL SPREAD?WILL IT EVENTUALLY RUPTURE? *TR

FUEL TANK HAS SPREAD SEPARATING IT FROM FRONT MOUNTING BRACKETS. DUCATI DEALER WAS ADVISED ON MARCH 23, 2010 AND HAS NOT RECEIVED A REPLACEMENT TANK FROM DUCATI AND HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN AN EXPECTED DELIVERY DATE. *TR

GAS TANK ON 2007 DUCATI GT 1000 MOTORCYCLE IS DEFORMED AND NO LONGER STAYS ON ITS MOUNTS. *TR

THE PLASTIC GAS TANK ON MY MOTORCYCLE HAS OVER TIME EXPANDED AND DISTORTED ENOUGH THAT IT HAD FALLEN OFF OF THE MOUNTING POINTS ON THE FRAME OF MY VEHICLE AND WAS NO LONGER SECURE TO THE MOTORCYCLE. THIS CAUSED THE BIKE TO BECOME UNRIDEABLE DUE TO THE FEAR OF THE GAS TANK FALLING OFF OR INTERFERING WITH THE HANDLEBARS.

FUEL TANK SPREADING AND DEFORMING. FUEL TANK NO LONGER CONNECTED TO MOTORCYCLE FRAME. FUEL TANK IS LOOSE AND LIFTS OFF OF BIKE WHEN RIDING OVER BUMPS. *TR

THE "PLASTIC" FUEL TANK EXPANDS OVER TIME ALLOWING RELEASE OF THE FRONT MOUNTING POINTS. THIS LEAVES ONLY ONE MOUNTING POINT AT THE REAR OF THE FUEL TANK. *TR

THE GAS TANK ON DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC MOTORCYCLES SPREADS SIDE TO SIDE TO THE POINT THAT THE RUBBER POLKS ON THE SIDES OF THE POLY CARBONATE TANK ARE NO LONGER IN THE METAL TANGS ON THE FRONT OF THE FRAME. THIS IN EFFECT RELEASES THE FRONT OF THE TANK ALLOWING IT TO "FLOP AROUND". AT THIS POINT THE TANK IS HELD ON BY ONE BOLT ON THE REAR OF THE TANK. DUCATI'S RESPONSE IS TO REPLACE THE TANK WITH EXACTLY THE SAME TANK, WHICH AGAIN SPREADS IN THE SAME WAY. I AM AWAITING MY THIRD TANK CURRENTLY. *TR

1. NORMAL USE OF GAS TANK. 2. GAS TANK HAS DISTORTED, SEPARATING FROM IT'S MOUNTS AND IS THUS NOT ATTACHED AT THE FRONT OF THE MOTORCYCLE. 3. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REPAIR IT. *TR

FUEL TANK DEFORMS OVER TIME, CAUSING IT TO LIFT OUT OF THE FRONT BRACKETS. THE TANK IS THEN LOOSE AND MOVES CONSIDERABLY UNDER HAND PRESSURE, WOULD PROBABLY COME OFF COMPLETELY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. DEALER HAS REPLACED TANK ONCE, THE NEW ONE IS ALREADY SHOWING THE SAME PROBLEMS, SO CLEARLY THE DESIGN OR MANUFACTURE OF THE TANK IS TO BLAME. *TR

DUCATI 2007 GT1000 MOTORCYCLE PLASTIC FUEL TANK IS SOFTENING AND SPREADING WHICH CAUSE THE TANK TO NOT BE SUPPORTED BY THE FRONT TANK BRACKETS. *TR

I HAVE A DUCATI MOTORCYCLE THAT HAS A DEFECTIVE GAS TANK. IT HAS DEFORMED OVER TIME TO THE POINT THAT IT HAS FALLEN OFF IT'S MOUNTS. THE PLASTIC GAS TANK WAS REPLACED WITH THE EXACT SAME PART UNDER WARRANTY. THE REPLACEMENT IS MADE OUT OF THE SAME MATERIALS AS THE ORIGINAL. MY DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART WILL DEFORM LIKE THE ORIGINAL. IF THE TANK FALLS OFF IT COULD CREATE A FUEL SPILL, FIRE, OR EVEN DEATH. *TR

FUEL TANK ON MY 2007 DUCATI GT1000 HAS WARPED/DISTORTED IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TANK NO LONGER FITS IN IT'S FRAME MOUNTS PROPERLY. THIS UNIT CURRENTLY HAS 16,500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS IS THE 2ND FUEL TANK TO BE MOUNTED ON THIS MOTORCYCLE. THE ORIGINAL TANK THAT WAS MOUNTED AT THE TIME THE MOTORCYCLE WAS ASSEMBLED ALSO HAD THE SAME WARP/DISTORTION ISSUES AT APPROX 5000 MILES AND WAS REPLACED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. *TR

THE GAS TANK ON MY 2007 DUCATI GT 1000 SPORT CLASSIC IS SPREADING, SO MUCH SO THAT EXTRA SHIMS UNDER THE MOUNTING PADS CAN NO LONGER RECTIFY THE CONDITION. I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL COME OFF WHILE THE BIKE IS IN USE. *TR

1) GAS TANK WARPING DUE TO TANK MATERIAL REACTION TO FUEL WITH ETHANOL (THE STATE IN WHICH I LIVE, AND MANY OTHERS, REQUIRE 10% ETHANOL). MOST EU COUNTRIES WHERE THE BIKE IS FROM HAVE NO ETHANOL IN THEIR GAS. 2) TANK WARPING MAY CAUSE TANK TO COME LOOSE FROM HOLDING BRACKETS 3) TANK WAS REPLACED WITH NEW TANK THOUGH UNSURE IF PROBLEM WITH ETHANOL REACTION WAS CORRECTED, AS I HAVE TALKED WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD AS MANY AS 3 TANKS REPLACED DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

2007 DUCATI GT SPORT CLASSIC FUEL TANK SPREADING , TANK DEFORMING HAS CAUSED THE TANK TO MOVE OFF THE FRAME MOUNTS. TANK IS NO LONGER SECURE TO FRAME CAUSING THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY AND ACCIDENT. *TR

I OWN A 2007 DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC. THIS BIKE HAS A WELL KNOWN DESIGN ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE GAS TANK TO "SPREAD". DUCATI HAS BEEN REPLACING THEM UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE REPLACEMENT HAS THE SAME FLAWED DESIGN, AND WILL FAIL ALSO. MY WARRANTY IS STILL IN EFFECT AND THE DEALER JUST ORDERED MY REPLACEMENT TANK, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT WHEN THIS NEXT ONE SPREADS MY WARRANTY WILL BE NULL. *TR

PLASTIC FUEL TANK SPREADING BECOMING LOOSE AND NOT BEING PROPERLY ATTACHED TO THE MOTORCYCLE,LEAVING ONLY ONE SMALL BOLT HOLDING IT ON. OCCURRENCE,ONCE. REPLACED BY DEALER BUT SPREADING AGAIN. DEALER SAYS CANT GUARANTEE ANY REPLACEMENTS. *TR

THE FUEL TANK OF MY DUCATI 2007 GT1000 IS SPREADING. THE DEALER EXTENDED THE BRACKET OUT TO HOLD IT IN PLACE HOWEVER I THINK THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND TEMPORARY REMEDY AS THE TANK IS CONTINUING TO SPREAD. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THE TANK CRACKS AND START A FIRE CAUSING HARM TO MYSELF AND OTHER. *TR

2007 DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC 1000. TANK WAS REPLACED FROM PREVIOUS COMPLAINT ABOUT IT BEING LOOSE AND SPREADING (ODI NUMBER 10258487). REPLACEMENT TANK HAS FAILED IN THE SAME MANNER IN UNDER TWO MONTHS. WILL SEEK REPLACEMENT AGAIN. *TR
