What's wrong?
On the 2011 Ducati Diavel, the side stand is the metal support that holds the motorcycle upright when it is parked. Its pivot area is the hinge point where the stand swings down and locks into position. That pivot has to carry the motorcycle's parked weight without bending or breaking.
In NHTSA campaign 11V413, Ducati says the side stand was built with insufficient material in that pivot area. That means the hinge section does not have enough strength for the load it has to carry. If the pivot area fails, the stand no longer supports the motorcycle as designed, and the bike can tip while parked.
There is no warning sign before failure. The stand is not described as giving a gradual clue, so an affected Diavel can look normal until the pivot area gives way.

What's the safety risk?
A weakened side stand can bend or break at the pivot, letting the motorcycle fall over and injure the rider or people nearby. Park it securely, avoid leaning weight on the stand, and arrange dealer service soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Ducati dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2011 Ducati Diavel is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ducati dealer and ask whether the free side-stand and pivot-bolt replacement is ready for your motorcycle.
- Reference recall number 11V413 when you call the dealer.
- Bring the recall notice if Ducati mailed one, or bring your VIN and registration so the dealer can match the motorcycle to the recall.
- Avoid using the side stand until the repair is complete; use a secure alternative support point when parking.
What happens at the repair
Ducati's repair path is an authorized dealer replacement of the side stand and pivot bolt. Once the dealer remedy is available for your VIN, a Ducati technician replaces both parts at no charge. The work addresses the side stand pivot area named in the recall, not a general inspection of the motorcycle. Ask the service desk to confirm the recall campaign by VIN before you bring the motorcycle in.
