Ducati 1098: Engine
Affects Ducati 1098 · 2007 — about 168 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain motorcycles, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) ignition timing and idle mixture were improperly set during the manufacturing process. This could cause the engine speed to drop and stall the engine when the temperature of the cooling system exceeded 82ºC (180ºF). If the engine stops while the motorcycle is being ridden, it could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will install updated ECU software.
