We can dream ScottFolks - it's a headlight... Not a gearbox, timing chain and or an electronic issue.. Lemon Law seems a little extreme
I would not mind just having a standard Headlight mine is flickering and the dealer said its fineFolks - it's a headlight... Not a gearbox, timing chain and or an electronic issue.. Lemon Law seems a little extreme
Have the dealership order you a new light under warranty, or at least have them start the warranty replacement; because delivery, will take a long time as units are coming from Germany.I would not mind just having a standard Headlight mine is flickering and the dealer said its fine
Honestly I would even like the standard headlightHave the dealership order you a new light under warranty, or at least have them start the warranty replacement; because delivery, will take a long time as units are coming from Germany.
Lemme tell ya, I'd be livid, especially as we're getting these early bonus days. 70 degrees where I'm at today and yesterday. I wonder if there's any value to exploring the dealer popping in a standard light and coming back in once the fix is released.Contacted the dealer 2 weeks ago as I am waiting for my new R18B to be released to me. I said I would like it delivered before my DGR (Distinguished Gentleman's Ride) in May. They said they cannot commit as there is no fix yet.... Ugh... Come on BMW... get this fix in asap... losing time riding...

I was hopeful earlier on that they'd have something to replace the units with in late March/early April, but I'm feeling like that's wishful thinking. If they have to design, build, and test a whole new unit, it could who knows how long. BMW can't move a single B or TC right now. Looks terrible. They've gotta respond.
I received the Headlight recall for my 2022 TC, I do have hopes it's resolved soon.
I will be riding up to Americade in Lake George New York and Laconia Bike Week in NH in May/June.
It sure would be nice to get more R18's up there this year, new headlights will help pick it up!
The headlight functions it’s just part of the recall. So happen’s I bought the bike but can’t take possession until this issue is resolved. Some how it has to be done soon!!!Had a bit of a scare this morning. Took my bike in for the 600 mile service, was told that due to the recall on my bike I would have to get it towed/trailered off their property. I decided to not drop it off for the servicing if that was the case. They made a few calls and found that it would not be the same in my issue since my headlight is not broken, like the other R18 they currently have in their shop. I have a second bike, so not that bad of an issue to be missing out on riding time, but I really feel for those that are in limbo waiting for their bikes.
My warranty ends in May, would it still be covered.The recall is live on the site under your VIN. https://nhtsa.bmwgroup.com/safetyrecall/pages/motorradRecallSearch.xhtml

SAFETY RISK
If all attachment points broke, then the affected reflector could move within the housing which could affect illumination of the roadway. This could increase the risk of a crash.
DESCRIPTION OF REPAIR
The remedy has not yet been developed.

So, no fix yet. I assume this means that buyers of new affected bikes can't take delivery until the remedy is in place. Current owners just have to sit and wait. Would be great if they're rolling out a solution before April!
Yes. Warranty and recall are 2 different thingsMy warranty ends in May, would it still be covered.
Notify your service shop to start the warranty claim or recall work in ordering you a new headlight; take pictures of your headlight damage, where it is showing wear of the reflective coating from lose or dislodged reflectors.My warranty ends in May, would it still be covered.

In my opinion BMW is not managing expectations for this issue. I do not think its a huge ask to keep us more informed on the progress. i.e. we have a plan and this it what it looks like along with a timeline. this would at least allow us all to adjust accordingly. Also I would be ok if BMW provided an option for us to decide if we want an older version of the light or not. As I said I like the product however I am disappointed on the lack of clarity/ transparency.Lemme tell ya, I'd be livid, especially as we're getting these early bonus days. 70 degrees where I'm at today and yesterday.

Totally agreed now is the season to ride and don't want to be stranded in the dark very dissatisfied with how they are handing this situation . With all the tech we have today there shouldn't be a reason why they can't resolve this issue also if they replace with the same style what makes me think this would not happen again seems like an expensive problem .In my opinion BMW is not managing expectations for this issue.
