there has never been a recall of frames. but, if a frame is cracked a new one is supplied free of charge. this is the way it has always happened for us.

we usually fit them, but there is always the option of doing it yourself. expect to be asked for a deposit. the old frame does not belong to you (the owner), it belongs to ducati spa or their local agent. if there is two frames with the same vin around they get in a lot of trouble. we cut the steering heads out with the oxy to be returned, then throw the rest in the bin. coz we have to.

we gave one to an owner (the boss did after i refused) without a deposit, relying on his honesty, and the f#%king arsehole owner then tried to sell it. we only found out when we saw the ad - "900ss frame, one small crack at steering head". then he gave us some bullshit about being too busy to bring the old one in. so we won't be doing that again.
