Recall 25V838 affects 1,016 2025-2026 Ducati Panigale V2 and Streetfighter V2 motorcycles for reversed ABS fuses. Repair is free at any franchised Ducati dealer.
Ducati is recalling 1,016 2025-2026 Panigale V2 and Streetfighter V2 motorcycles under recall 25V838 because the ABS pump and control-unit fuses can be reversed from assembly. The fuse mix-up can trigger an ABS malfunction and front or rear wheel lockup, causing loss of control; the dealer repair will be free once Ducati makes it available.

What's wrong?
The ABS system on the 2025-2026 Ducati Panigale V2 and Streetfighter V2 helps control wheel slip when braking hard. It uses an ABS control unit to read the system and an ABS pump to manage brake pressure, so the wheels keep rotating instead of locking under ABS intervention. Each circuit is protected by a fuse sized for that job.
On affected motorcycles, the 25A fuse for the ABS pump and the 10A fuse for the ABS control unit were reversed during wiring assembly. That leaves the ABS pump wiring protected by the lower-rated 10A fuse instead of the 25A fuse. Under braking that activates ABS, the pump fuse can blow, turning off ABS function and allowing wheel lockup.
The warning sign is immediate. The dashboard shows "ABS error," and the ABS warning light stays on to tell the rider the ABS function has been deactivated.
Who's affected?

A matching year and model does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorcycle is included.
What's the safety risk?
Wheel lockup during braking can make the motorcycle harder to control and increase the risk of a crash or injury. If an "ABS error" message and ABS warning light appear, the ABS function is deactivated; slow down safely and arrange dealer service. Repair will be free at any franchised Ducati dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025-2026 Ducati Panigale V2 or Streetfighter V2 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ducati dealer and ask whether the free fuse inspection and repair is open for your VIN.
- Schedule the fuse-holder inspection and repair that corrects the reversed ABS pump and control-unit fuses.
- Bring Ducati's owner letter if you received one. If not, reference recall number 25V838 when you call.
- Ride cautiously until the repair is complete, since ABS malfunction and wheel lockup can lead to loss of motorcycle control.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ducati technician will inspect the fuses and fuse holders for the ABS pump and control unit, then repair any fuse or holder issue found during the inspection. The dealer repair will be free once available. If you already paid out of pocket for this fuse related repair before the recall notice, Ducati's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Bring the repair order and proof of payment to the service desk when you ask about reimbursement.
