Here's the proposed settlement for the Streetfighter, it's a real laugher...:o
2009-2011 Streetfighter Class Vehicles: Fuel tank expansion on these models can on some motorcycles cause the painted, exposed tanks to contact the upper triple clamp3 and the radiator cap.As necessary to address any such problem, Ducati will install a newly-designed fuel tank with slightlyreduced dimensions to accommodate expansion and prevent such contact. (Id. I.6.d.; III.F.)
Sorry I don't have any info on other models with expanding plastic tanks...
Here's the court docs, settlement starts on page 5...

A smaller gas tank. Yep. That's the ticket! [laugh]
A gas tank suit sounds dangerous

I've been talking with Izaac about this for quite a while. The case pretty much got make the beast with two backsed as soon as GG got involved. [thumbsdown]
GG?
Girard Gibbs. They are the law firm that brought the suit against Ducati. Really sad thing is, Ducati was talking with Izaac (Ducatiz) about this issue, and they were working on a solution that would work for all involved. All that basically stopped the moment GG filed the suit.
Most make the beast with two backsing lawyers have no clue what they are talking about... Ducatiz excluded of course.
