The problem is always the same. Too few prototypes were built and tested prior to release so the missed the issue. Now it's going to cost them some multiple of what it would have cost to build more prototypes. Everybody on a motorcycle design team should get a prototype to live with before release IMHO. One of my favorite recalls was the SSSA spindle on the 916. The error was so obvious (no radius where the spindle changed diameters, classic stress concentration) one wonders if anybody ever really reviewed the design.
 
They are believed to bring bad luck because they are so beautiful :), although it is sad that a new motorcycle you bought has problems, it is not the end of the world. Such problems can happen in the first production models of every brand and are solved (Ducati masters, of course you know better). Coming back to this beauty, I fell in love with it again in the video you shot. Everything is built from the ground up and looks like a whole.
