Ducati Now Among Brands Affected By Brembo Master Cylinder Recall
Last week, Piaggio issued a Brembo master cylinder recall which affected its RSV4 and Tuono 1100 models. The plastic piston in the master cylinder is said to have the possibility of cracking under hard use. With Brembo supplying the same components to various manufacturers, it is now becoming apparent that we may continue to see brands issuing recalls on these same systems. Ducati is the latest to have announced a recall on the same components which will affect six models in the Italian manufacturer’s line-up.
