sump smashing on 99905 model

i have this years model and while riding at high speed i cornered. on doing this the sump smashed causing the oil to spill out over the back wheel. this caused me to nearly crash. Ducatti fixed the bike but are deniing that it is a fault. to draw attention to this dangerous problem on these models i am looking to see if anyone else has had the same problem.
the dealer fixed it as per ducatis instruction. they raised the ride hight on th back and lowered the forks which totaly upset the handling of the bike. on getting the bike back i immediately knew it wasn't right. the dealer had told me this has happened to 3 other uk owners. if any are on line or you know of someone let me know as ducati are denying there is a problem.
