Recall 19V675 covers 651 2014-2018 Ducati 1199, 1299, and Panigale R motorcycles for airbox oil leaks. Free repair at franchised Ducati dealers.
Ducati is recalling 651 2014-2018 1199, 1299, and Panigale R motorcycles because crankcase pressure can force engine oil into the airbox and out through the drain hose. Leaking oil can drip in the path of the rear tire and raise crash risk, and Ducati dealers will complete the repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
The engine on affected 2014-2018 Ducati 1199, 1299, and Panigale R motorcycles vents crankcase pressure through the airbox system. That ventilation path handles normal blow-by, the small amount of combustion pressure that passes the piston rings, so pressure does not build inside the engine base.
On these motorcycles, positive pressure from the engine base can force engine oil into the airbox. Oil then collects where it should not and leaks from the airbox drain hose below the bike. Ducati's repair adds a dedicated blow-by valve kit to control that pressure and stop excessive oil leakage from the drain hose.
There are no fault codes or specific riding behavior tied to this problem. The warning sign is visible oil from the drain hose below the motorcycle.

- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2018 Ducati 1199, 1299, or Panigale R motorcycle is included in this recall.

- Bring the recall notice if Ducati mailed one. If not, reference recall number 19V675 when you call.
- Avoid riding if you see oil leaking near the airbox drain hose or rear tire before the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ducati technician installs a blow-by valve kit to control engine crankcase pressure and reduce the chance of engine oil being pushed into the airbox and out through the airbox drain hose. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Ducati has a general reimbursement plan on file for qualifying out-of-pocket repairs paid before the recall notice. Bring repair invoices and payment records to the dealer or contact Ducati customer service for the reimbursement path.
