BMW Motorrad Announces Five-Year Helmet Warranty

BMW Motorrad is extending the warranty for its complete range of helmets with retroactive effect from 1 January 2020. The previous warranty period of two years for BMW Motorrad helmets will be extended to five years retroactively from 1 January 2020.All helmets in the BMW Motorrad product range, valid from the date of purchase on 1 January 2020, will, therefore, be covered by a contractual warranty period of five years from now on. Purchases made before this date are still limited to a warranty period of 24 months. The warranty applies to all helmets purchased from a participating BMW Motorrad dealer.The warranty covers material and manufacturing defects of the product. Installed BMW Motorrad communication systems, in turn, are excluded from the BMW Motorrad warranty extension for helmets. This means that the warranty expressly does not apply if a defect or damage is caused by improper handling, an accident, or the improper installation of the system and accessories - even by third parties. Scratches on the visor, sun shield, helmet shell, or plastic parts are also not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
