Is there info as to the manufacture date for a specific bike?
I would like to know the D.O.M. for my 2020B.
One reason is to see if it falls into the 2016-2019 tranny recall (no issues ((yet))

I understand your concern. However, I believe that BMW was prohibited from delivering new bikes without performing the correction first. Also, I believe it was MY not DOM that determined recall. But I'm no expert. If you purchased your bike new from a dealer, I'm all but certain the recall work was performed if it was required.

Take a look at your VIN tag on the right side of the front fork casting and you will see a month and year such as 12/19 in the upper right corner. Turn the handle bars to the left then look from the front of the bike down near the antifreeze over flow bottle.

If you have K1600 B it would have to fall into the years 2016 through to the current issue as the B was made and fits into the recall speed of manufacturing as for finding the date of manufacture if you look under the headlight it is stamped on the fork yoke almost straight behind the headlight area. The Vin number, Date of manufacture etc .called a compliance plate. If you still have your original manual it would also have that information stamped in the front of that.
I don't think you're going to have any issues getting the recall done regardless if in dought just contact your local BMW dealership they can confirm that for you.
Good luck.
