Consumer Description

A NEWLY PURCHASED DUCATI SPORT CLASSIC MOTORCYCLE, PURCHASED FROM AN AUTHORIZED DUCATI DEALER IN MARCH OF 2006, IS EXHIBITING OUT OF SPEC GAS TANK EXPANSION, WHICH IS CREATING UNSAFE MOUNTING ONTO MOTORCYCLE FRAME. THAT IS, THE GAS TANK IS WARPING OUT OF SHAPE AND NO LONGER SECURELY MOUNTED ONTO FRAME. NO OWNER ABUSE, ACCIDENTS, OR EXTREME EXPOSURE TO THE ELEMENTS HAS CAUSED THIS GAS TANK WARPAGE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT. *TR
