I saw this online today (1/8/2024):

BMW motorcycle recall for headlight concern

BMW is recalling 2,369 of its 2021-2024 BMW R 18, R 18B, and R 18 Transcontinental motorcycles because the headlight low beam attachment points may break, shifting the reflector out of position, and provide insufficient illumination.

The remedy is currently under development. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed February 13, 2024. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

Recalled vehicles:

2021-2024 BMW R 18
2021-2024 BMW R 18 B
2021-2024 BMW R 18 Transcontinental
