Ducati Is Recalling Certain Panigale V2 and Streetfighter V2s

If you own either a 2025 Ducati Panigale V2 or a 2025 or 2026 Ducati Streetfighter V2, Ducati North America is recalling some units of both of these models due to a mixup in fuses that were installed in the ABS pump and control unit. Both a 25A fuse for the ABS pump and a 10A fuse for the ABS control unit, as well as the two fuse holders, may have accidentally been reversed and installed incorrectly by a supplier during the assembly process.
The potential mixup occurred during particular production date ranges of both bikes. For 2025 and 2026 Ducati Streetfighter V2s, affected bikes were produced between March 31, 2025 and June 12, 2025. For 2025 Ducati Panigale V2s, affected bikes were produced between February 4, 2025 and May 23, 2025. All Panigale V2 and Streetfighter V2s produced after June 13, 2025 have had both the fuses and their fuse holders verified as to correct positioning of all components, and are not affected by this recall.
Approximately 1,016 total motorcycles are believed to potentially be affected according to Ducati North America's records. This represents approximately 1.2% of the population.
As far as any warning signs that could alert the rider that there's a problem, Ducati's safety recall report notes that if the ABS pump fuse blows under braking, a warning message that reads "ABS Error" could appear on the dashboard and stay displayed. Additionally, the ABS warning light may illuminate on the dash and refuse to go out.
On a motorcycle where the two different fuses are reversed, the 10A fuse could blow, which could potentially prevent the ABS pump from functioning correctly, as expected. This, in turn, could cause either the front or the rear wheel to lockup, which could increase the risk of a crash and/or injury.
Ducati North America plans to notify its dealer network between December 15 and 22, 2025. For potentially affected owners, Ducati plans to notify registered owners between January 26 and February 2, 2026. Owners of affected bikes will be instructed to contact their local authorized Ducati dealer for a free inspection of these fuses and their holders. If they were incorrectly installed, recall service will be performed free of charge to customers.

Trusting that you have abs and then not having abs is a bad situation.

Not as exciting as the fuse issue I had on my new `75 CB750. Something wonky in the harness, Honda never did get it sorted and it continued to pop the main, killing all power and lights, once in a rare while. The time it popped as I was entering the off ramp on 401 W. to Weston Rd. was exciting in traffic. I got NASCAR pit crew quick at changing out fuses. Mysteriously it healed itself after a couple years.

I had a bike with flash to pass. I'd use it in the corners to temporarily add high beams (it turns out, in addition to low beams). One very dark night on the east coast, partway through the corner, it decided to blow the fuse and leave me completely in the dark. I had to assume that the taillights I could see in the distance were on the road I was on and the road was straight between us. Started slowing down carefully (I didn't want to be on the brakes if I went wide and ended up in gravel) and stood up the bike when it was lined up with the taillights. New fuse and back on the road. I didn't use flash to pass in the corners again.

A lot of early 70s Hondas had the ignition switch mounted down on the side of the chassis below the fuel tank. People would load up their key rings, everything would rattle around like mad and shake the guts out of the switch. Go over a big bump and instant off, sometimes blowing the fuse. Simple solution - take the extra keys off. I sold a lot of switches.

No kidding about that. My 750F was up between the tach/speedo, every bike I`ve owned, I kept the key separate. I mentioned this to a woman I saw a while ago with about a half-pound of keys on the big car key fob.. not a good idea. I knew a guy who grabbed a hot pipe fishing around for the key under the front of the tank, on a early CB750.

My greatest fear with safety technology - dependence. I heard they don't even teach threshold braking anymore to car drivers.

What?....and put your phone down for 5 seconds? Ever see a car ad in decades that mentions the engine, chassis, suspension, brakes, horsepower etc? It`s all connectivity out the wazoo and every electronic nanny to save your inept, dumb arse.

Sadly, in every relationship, there is a master and a slave. We are quickly relegating drivers to the second category. If your vehicle has functional ABS and the driver is trying to threshold brake, it is the worst of all worlds. The ABS and the driver are both trying to be master and it doesn't work well. Tbh, other than classic cars, I doubt my kids will ever drive a vehicle without ABS, FI, airbags or with a stick shift. The make decisions yourself alternatives are being removed from the marketplace (some for good reasons but they are still gone).

A few years ago, because of unfortunate circumstances I had to get a rental car. It was a Hyundai Elantra - nice car EXCEPT it was this time of year and had summer tires. It was almost undriveable if three snowflakes fell. When I took it back I told the agency to put winters on it before someone got hurt. I was met with shrugs.

I was flying into calgary for work and driving to interior BC in the winter. Highway requires snow tires by law. Apparently not a single place in Calgary rents a vehicle with snow tires. I rolled the dice and went with a subaru on all-seasons. No tickets thankfully. It did OK but not excellent on ice-covered roads.
