Just had a reply from the service manager at Ducati Bristol, and I quote:

"The so called recall in question is not a recall and is only for bikes that have a running problem from new. The valve springs are too weak and cause running problems which we don't have with your bike so don't worry."

I suppose if you have an ST3 you need to decide if you've got a running problem or not. Mine is fine as the dealer says, and it would appear that this issue is not an official recall problem.

Hope this helps

Like I said, it is not a recall but a service bullitin and yes you have to decide for your self if your bike is suffering from bad idling and "on and off" reactions. But I would sure try to get both replaced....
