Swingarm Recall

Anyone know where I can source this bolt in the recall (or the exact pitch size of the unobtanium bolt as well?)
If I can find one; I'm going to kidnap my bike back and do it myself

Guys here is what I posted on the UK recall thread, it will help you to check if you have the bolt issue or not (which is useful for the ones that aren't close to a dealer)
Also it is rumored that this recall is for the bike between N° 420 to 4048
Also note that some customers here in France have received the letter even if the bolt was correct
Anyway it's pretty easy to check yourself ;-)

Just got back from my dealer. He showed me the recall bulletin. Check the last for of your VIN. The recall affect bike 4055 and higher.
Do you Have a source for that 4055 and higher? Was it the bulliten itself? I'm in the VIN 2000's...WTF? Why would they keep my bike? I'm going to pick it up on Monday no matter what bolt is in there!!

Whatever it is, I am quite sure it's not called a "swingarm recall" It's a frigging BOLT. I agree RSR. Go get it and tell the fools to call you when the damn bolt is in, unless they state it's now a liability to let you ride out of there without it. I am willing to bet ya $20 they do? Deal?

I take that bet!! And better yet, I'll pay you in person if I have to when I take it on a road trip to B'more for my son's next lacrosse tourney the week after next. I'm gonna have them as my chase vehicle...(they're whipping all the Maryland teams ..... today in the U-13 bracket at the young guns tourney, BTW
)Told them I'll sign a release and put the bolt in myself if I have to. I'm getting my dammed bike back!! F that BS!! If it voids the warranty, so be it!! If it breaks, well, I'll just have to get another. That's that!

The dealer did a number of things. First he entered my VIN on Ducati NA's site to see if it was within the recall range. It was not. Then he pulled up the bulletin on his computer. It showed the image Valen75 posted above. Below the image it said bikes affected starting with 4055. My bike is in the 24 hundreds so I'm ok. They also had a list of bikes they sold that were affected by the recall with instructions to contact those owners. My bike wasn't on it. So at least my local dealer was on top of this it seems. On another completely unrelated note, I asked their master tech about the rumored Termi update up-map. He said there is none. He said part of every service (including the 600m) they plug the bike in and check for fault codes and look for software updates. There are none.

Trust me there was at my dealer, may just be the uk, but I doubt it, that's exactly what my dealer did plugged it in and there was a new upmap...

27xx is below the affected range. Again it affects bikes 4055 and higher.

I had mine replaced under what Ducati calls a "safety recall". It also includes the steering damper having a larger washer installed (can fall off), and a cap placed on the front brake reservoir where it chafes the supply hose to the front master cylinder. They also check on the torque of a particular pivot bolt which was over-torqued at the factory. While they were in there, the tech discovered the rear hub had frozen up in the carrier, which required removal, cleaning off the rust, and greasing.
