Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: There is a recall campaign for year 2004 of my bike, ducati st4s, recall # 05v221000 re. air box breather hose in contact w/ the horizontal exhaust pipe resulting in possible fire. my bike is the same model but year 2003. in the choices menu my bike was not listed so i entered the first one on the list, the 749, but this complaint is for the st4s. my breather hose is in contact with the exhaust and has melted/caught fire so year 2003 (and possibly earlier) should be included in this recall. i caught it and luckily the damage is only on the hose. thank you for your attention.
