As per the heading
The vin number on my GSA says its a 2013 but the reg docs say its a 2012
Could it be an early release "2013" model, as the bike was registered in December 2012  for the first time?
The stantions have come loose on the bike and according to BMW they did a recall on the 2013 model but not the 2012.
They now say its a 2012 so no recall.

Which is the true year model of the bike?
I do have a warranty on the bike and the guy I bought i from will pay for the repairs so it doesnt really matter as I am not paying for any of the repairs.
Just out of interest
