I’ve got that short windshield sitting in my garage. Only ever put it on to see how it looks. I’ll give it a ride test this season when it’s hot out.

Yeah, that part stings bad, for sure.

Apparently an update is required along with the fix. Not sure if it’s an ECU update or a TFT update, but I fully expect I’ll be dishing out another $200 to BT for a revised tune.

US dealers haven’t been told anything about the permanent fix directly from BMW USA yet, so it’s likely we know more than they do. As of now, and until they get the updated bulletin, the recall work is to disconnect the module. The real fix replaces “something” (not sure what) that needs to be...

Believe I saw and/or heard that work had to be booked by Jan 31 to take advantage of the deal in the US.

I’d bet a buck they float you a new code if you told them you were part of the forum deal. Go on! Wake that R18 up!

I wonder if that’s all it’d take. People can mod a bike all they want. That’s HD’s bread and butter. Sell a bike and let the customer make it their own. It’s hard to shake that HD pull, especially where I live. So I’m not sure what kind of iteration it’d take to really spark more sales...

Love to find out it’s an easy fix. As for the reverse, anyone we’re seeing having been alerted or scheduled is somewhere in Europe. No whispers of anyone stateside getting a notice yet. Waiting though, as my bikes been sittting in the shop since just after New Year’s Day.

OP, looking at my own Corbin, it looks like there is a connection point between the passenger heating wires and the harness that plugs into the bike. Check that that’s plugged properly and undamaged. If nothing clears your fault, I’d be on the horn with Corbin to have them take the seat back...

Just checked my Corbin with rider and passenger heat. Just one connector.

Correct. Only the rider is heated on a stock B. That one connection also fires up the passenger heating element on aftermarket seats tho. My guess for OP is that there’s something not quite right in the Corbin seat or the Corbin wire. I hope they’ll be willing to handle the issue without trouble.

Wonder if UK recall rules are different. In the US, the shop can’t take a bike in with an active recall and release it back without having done the work. Big liability issue here in the states. Whatever they’re doing, I’m wishing you luck through it all.

The B has only one line to plug in.

Before first service, the factory wants you to keep a certain RPM range for break-in. And for many riders, that 500-600 miles comes up pretty quick after delivery. I suppose part of the guidance is that they don’t want folks to hoon out with the new tune on a bike that’s not yet broken in. The...

Ahh, so you’ll get the recall replacement with the updated bushings. Hopefully you’re not waiting long for the order to come in.

Not OP, but wondered that myself. It’s a simple plug that only seats one way. Further, if the wiring was backwards, I’m not sure the heating element would work. The idea of the wires being crimped under the seat makes some sense. Maybe there’s a broken wire that’s got enough connection to...

Could almost believe it, the way we’ve seen accessory parts explode.

Is this the OG light, or the recall replacement?

Government employee?

$8k? The hell you building?!
