What's wrong?
The passenger foot pegs on the 2023 Ducati Diavel are the small folding supports on the right and left side of the motorcycle for a passenger's feet. They unfold when a passenger gets on and are meant to hold steady while the passenger mounts the motorcycle and rides. The part also helps the passenger keep a stable position behind the rider.
In NHTSA campaign 23V250, Ducati identified right and left passenger foot pegs from batch code K22 with a forging defect. Forging is the metal-forming step that gives the peg its shape and strength. If that defect is present, the foot peg can break during extension, unfolding, or while the motorcycle is being ridden.
There is no warning sign before failure. The rider or passenger will not get a reliable sound, looseness, or dashboard alert before the foot peg breaks.
