- Jun 23, 2013Fuel/propulsion system
THE GAS TANK HAS EXPANDED AND SPREAD WIDER THAN THE SUPPORTS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE MOTORCYCLE, CAUSING IT TO BE UNSUPPORTED AND UNSAFE. *TR - May 23, 2012Fuel/propulsion system
THE GAS TANK HAS EXPANDED AND BECOME POTENTIALLY UNSUPPORTED. ALSO THE FUEL HOSE FROM THE PUMP TO THE FILTER IS FAULTY AND HAS SHRUNK, NOT ALLOWING FUEL TO FLOW TO THE ENGINE. *TR - Dec 2, 2010 · 10 milesFuel system, gasoline
I'M RESUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT AS I'M UNDER THE IMPRESSION MY PREVIOUS ONE FOR THE SAME CAUSE WAS NOT FILED. ISSUE IS I NOTICED A DEFORMED/LOOSE FUEL TANK ON MY BRAND NEW, 2009 DUCATI GT 1000 MOTORCYCLE UPON DELIVERY FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THE TANK HAS EXPANDED AND IS NO LONGER SECURED BY IT'S TWO FRONT BRACKETS (TWO OF THE THREE SECURING POINTS FOR THE FUEL TANK). THE TANK MOVES/WOBBLES APPROX HALF AND INCH TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, AND A SINGLE REAR BOLT IS KEEPING IT ON THE MOTORCYCLE. I BELIEVE THE TANK IS LIKELY TO FLY OFF IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT SO I HAVEN'T RIDDEN THE MOTORCYCLE AND INTEND TO RETURN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP UNDER "BREACH OF WARRANTY". DUCATI'S LIMITED WARRANTY ON EMISSION… - Dec 3, 2010 · 10 milesFuel system, gasoline
I JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW DUCATI GT 1000 MOTORCYCLE FROM LEXINGTON MOTORSPORTS, KENTUCKY, WHICH WAS DELIVERED TO MY HOUSE ON 3 OCTOBER 2010 WITH A DEFORMING/LOOSENING FUEL TANK. ON 18 NOV 2010, GIRARD GIBBS LLP FILED A CLASS ACTION AGAINST DUCATI NORTH AMERICA FOR KNOWINGLY SELLING THESE DEFECTIVE FUEL TANKS AND NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM SINCE 2006. *TR - Oct 3, 2010 · 5,500 milesFuel system, gasoline
GAS TANK HAS DEFORMED CAUSING IT TO BECOME LOOSE FROM THE FRAME TO THE POINT IT HAD TO BE SECURED WITH STRAPS. I HAVE OWNED THE MOTORCYCLE (PURCHASED NEW) FOR 19 MONTHS AND IN THAT TIME THE GAS TANK HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE DUE TO THIS DEFORMATION. *TR - Jul 31, 2010Fuel system, gasoline
IN JUNE, I PURCHASED A 2009 DUCATI GT1000 BRAND NEW FROM A DEALER IN FT. MYERS, FLORIDA. UPON DELIVERY, THE GAS TANK WAS COMPLETELY DEFORMED SO THAT THE RUBBER BUMPERS INTENDED TO SECURE THE TANK TO THE FRAME NO LONGER SAT IN THE FRAME'S BRACKETS. CONSEQUENTLY, THE TANK IS MERELY RESTING ON THE FRAME, UNSECURED TO THE BIKE. THOUGH THE TANK IS BRAND NEW, I'VE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER WHO SAID THE DEFORMITY IS BAD ENOUGH THAT DUCATI IS REPLACING THE TANK UNDER WARRANTY. BUT THEY ARE DOING SO WITH A TANK THAT ISN'T ANY DIFFERENT FROM THE CURRENT TANK, MAKING IT--AND ME--SUSCEPTIBLE TO CONTINUED PROBLEMS AND PROTRACTED INTERVALS OF HAVING THE BIKE AT THE DEALERSHIPS. *TR - Aug 7, 2010 · 4,000 milesFuel system, gasoline
FUEL TANK DEFORMATION/SPREADING TO THE POINT WHERE TANK NO LONGER HELD BY BRACKETS. *TR - Dec 6, 2009 · 1,500 milesFuel system, gasoline
