THE GAS TANK ON MY 2006 DUCATI MONSTER S2R HAS EXPANDED IN BOTH WIDTH AND LENGTH. THE LARGER DIMENSIONS NOW ALLOW THE HANDLEBARS TO HIT THE TANK WHICH COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL/CRASH. ANOTHER WORRISOME ISSUE WITH AN EVER-EXPANDING PLASTIC GAS TANK IS THE FACT THAT IT SITS IN YOUR LAP WHILE RIDING. NOT REALLY WHERE I WOULD WANT A SUDDEN EXPULSION OF FLAMMABLE LIQUID ONTO A HOT ENGINE WHEN THE TANK SPLITS OPEN. *TR

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
