They promise repairs or compensation for the reverse repair. When asked about it they say oh that offer expired. Bmw is sounding like harley promises promises no action.
 
BMW is absolutely on the hook for completing the Reverse Recall Campaign; as to the compensation piece, I don't think that applies any longer, as BMW service shops will perform the recall work within a single service shop visit.

Many of us were compensated, because we had the Reverse function disabled for a few weeks at that time, while BMW Engineers figured out the Reverse fix solution; that problem is now in the rear view mirror..
 
It was at the time I filed. Crooked Stealership in fla.

I had my reverse circuit safety recall performed today at the local dealership. 2021 FE, I'm outside of warranty.

They replaced the wiring harness and flashed the ECU. My reverse gear did not work and they informed that my "reverse control unit" is bad. The control unit (pn 61355B5C703) is not part of the recall, its a $1000 part and they charge $200/hr for labor so, I brought the bike home with reverse not working at no charge.

I hope they expand the recall to include the control unit so I can get it fixed without paying $1200. Otherwise, I will try to source a working control unit and install myself. Will bide my time for a little while looking into this.

It was 105 degrees, the dealerships AC was broken, and their drink frig was down. I drank warm water and waited two hours. Not a great experience. Had to wipe my brentune and write original so that'll cost me $200 bucks. I've had more fun at the dentist.

The dealership has agreed to replace my reverse control unit free of charge and troubleshoot why my shifting linkage is binding with the new reverse circuit wires they installed for the safety recall. Needless to say, I am very pleased by this. Once they receive the part mid next week they will call to schedule it.
