| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Hard chrome plating on face of rocker arms, that contact camshaft, flakes off and becomes suspended in the oil system. rocker arms without plating wear cam shafts and rocker arms. i have this issue on my 1997 ducati, and know of numerous other cases. ducati will only repair rocker arms that have currently failed and require that i pay for labor. they will not pay to repair all rocker arms, yet still insist that i pay for all labor - even on future probable failures. this is known to be a problem on 1997 and 1998 ducati model 748 motorcycles. the chrome flakes off in large segments and could possibly clog oil passages - causing the engine siezure. |
