Johannesburg - The National Consumer Commission (NCC) has announced a recall affecting certain Isuzu RT66 bakkies and Ducati motorcycles in South Africa. If you own one of these vehicles, it's crucial to check if it's part of the recall.
Isuzu RT66 Airbag Fault
Ten Isuzu RT66 bakkies, sold between 16 July 2025 and 8 August 2025, are being recalled due to a potential airbag malfunction. The NCC stated that a poor electrical connection could cause the airbag warning light to illuminate intermittently. This defect could prevent the airbag from deploying properly during a collision, posing a significant safety risk to occupants.
Ducati Rear Wheel Shaft Issue
Ducati South Africa is also recalling its 2018-2024 Panigale V4 models and 2020-2025 Streetfighter V4 motorcycles. The NCC reports that the rear wheel shafts on these motorcycles may lose structural integrity, potentially leading to cracks and complete failure. This could have severe consequences for rider safety.
What You Need to Do
The NCC urges all owners of affected Isuzu RT66 bakkies and Ducati motorcycles to contact their nearest authorised dealership immediately. Inspections and repairs will be carried out free of charge. Don't delay – your safety could depend on it!
- Isuzu RT66: Contact your Isuzu Motors South Africa-approved dealership.
- Ducati: Contact your local Ducati South Africa dealership.
This recall highlights the importance of vehicle safety and the NCC's role in protecting consumers. Stay informed and ensure your vehicle is safe to drive.
