Summary

DucatieBay logo North America (DucatieBay logo) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Panigale V2 motorcycles. The dashboard could automatically switch from low beam headlights to the headlight daylight position lamp (DRL), in automatic setting mode. As such, these motorcycles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment.”

 

Remedy

Dealers will update the dashboard software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 20, 2023. Owners may contact DucatieBay logo customer service at 1-888-391-5446. DucatieBay logo’s number for this recall is SRV-RCL-23-003.

 

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

 

Check for Ducati Recalls

 


Due to an error in the calibration of the instrument panel photodiode that controls activation and deactivation in automatic mode of the DRL (and consequent switching on and off of the low beam headlight), unwanted switching of the headlight from low beam to DRL mode may occur, with the potential risk of low beam deactivation when riding at night.

A new version of instrument panel software has been released, which correctly calibrates the photodiode function, preventing the condition described above.

The new instrument panel software is 1507_DSB_S029.

 

Service Solution

1. Connect the workshop power supply unit to the vehicle diagnostic port.

2. Connect the DDS 3.0 diagnosis instrument and automatically identify the model by selecting item “Identify model”.

3. A Global Scan will be suggested; perform the Global Scan, then the instrument panel software update will be suggested. Additional software updates for other control units will be suggested, if available.
Press “OK” to confirm/install.

4. The suggested software name is: 1507_DSB_S029.

NOTE
If the instrument panel control unit is already equipped with the new software, the DDS3.0 will not auto suggest the update.

5. Perform a Global Scan, make sure that the instrument panel software has been installed and check that there are no errors.

6. Disconnect the vehicle from the DDS3.0 and the workshop power supply unit.
