Update about the topic, yesterday i reported the issue to the "National Highway Traffic Safety Administration" explaining the fuel boiling issue and telling them that Ducati introduced a design change to mitigate/solve the problem. In my opinion a 25K motorcycle should be trouble free and the manufacturer should also take action and open a recall campaign. So i invite the V4 Panigale owners to report it to NHTSA to tell Ducati that they have an issue and they need to take action.
Here is the answer from the inspector:
Hello Eugenio Andrea Esposito,
I am the investigator looking into your issue on your 2023 DUCATI PANIGALE with the fuel getting hot and boiling. I also was able to open the link you provided showing the gas boiling in the tank. I appreciate that. I have some questions below,
Will please give me permission to share your VIN with DUCATI, it will make this easier for them to assist us with this matter?
If you are aware of other riders that are having this same issue as you, please encourage them to report to NHTSA as you did, we are data driven and the more people reporting will make things easier to show DUCATI they are having an issue. Complaining and exchanging ideas on a blog site is hard to track especially without VINs or names and not an allies.
- Are you the original owner?
- What modifications if any are done to the motorcycle?
- When you contacted DUCATI what did they say?
Thank you,
Santiago
