What's wrong?
The center stand on the 2010 Ducati MTS1200 is the metal support that lets the motorcycle stand upright when it is parked or being serviced. It is held to the motorcycle by mounting screws, and those screws keep the stand fixed in its intended position under the bike.
On affected motorcycles, the center stand mounting screws loosen during normal operation. Once the screws lose clamping force, the stand no longer stays firmly attached where Ducati designed it to sit. The stand can shift out of position, damage the motorcycle, and create a potential hazard for the rider.
There is no warning sign before failure. A rider has no reliable cue that the screws have loosened until the stand has moved, made noise, or caused visible damage.

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010 Ducati MTS1200 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ducati dealer to schedule the free center-stand screw service.
- Ask the dealer to remove the center-stand screws, apply thread-locking compound, and reinstall them to the specified torque so the stand stays secured.
- Bring the recall notice if Ducati mailed one. If not, reference recall number 10V357 when you call.
- Avoid riding until the repair is complete, because a displaced center stand affects motorcycle control.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ducati technician removes the center stand screws, applies thread-locking compound, reinstalls the screws, and torques them to Ducati's specification. Ducati's recall notice states that this work is free of charge and began on August 13, 2010. If your 2010 MTS1200 is included, ask a Ducati dealer to confirm the center stand fasteners were repaired under recall 10V357 before you keep riding.
