What's wrong?
The rear-view mirrors on the 2017-2019 Ducati Supersport give the rider a view of traffic behind and beside the motorcycle. They need to stay steady enough for the reflected image to remain clear while the engine and road surface create vibration.
On affected Supersport motorcycles, the mirrors can vibrate at certain vehicle speeds and engine RPMs, depending on gear position and riding conditions. That vibration distorts the reflected image. When the image loses detail, the rider has less useful rearward visibility before changing lanes, slowing, or checking surrounding traffic.
What you notice is the problem itself: the image in the rear-view mirror looks less defined than normal. If the reflection blurs or loses detail at certain speeds, that is the warning sign.
Who's affected?

What's the safety risk?
Reduced rearward visibility can increase the risk of a crash because the mirror image is less defined. If the rear view looks unclear, ride cautiously and schedule the mirror replacement soon. Repair is free at any franchised Ducati dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017-2019 Ducati Supersport is included in this recall.

- Bring the owner notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 18V793 and Ducati recall SRV-RCL-18-005 when you call.
- Ride cautiously until the repair is complete. Use extra shoulder checks before changing lanes or turning.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ducati technician replaces the original mirrors on affected 2017-2019 Supersport motorcycles with new mirrors designed to address vibration-distorted images. The replacement parts and labor are free under recall 18V793. Ducati has a general reimbursement plan on file for eligible owners who already paid for a related mirror repair before the owner notice.
