I don't know how to do a survey, but if someone does come up with a survey it would be interesting to know year of bike and whether the replacement failed. Maybe it was just a small quality control issue?

I haven't heard that they had a fix. They were just replacing the broken ones with the same part (I think).

Has anyone had the replacement fail? I had mine replaced last year and it is still working, just wondering if anyone has had 2+ failures?

Has anyone replaced the headlight with a simple cheap headlight? I've see the question out here before, but don't remember if anyone has actually tried it.

Is it just my dealer that has zero r18's. I get the hold-sale on the baggers with the adaptive headlight, but where are all the other r18's?

Having owned Street Glide and Road Glide baggers (still own a Street Bob), I would say one of the best things about owning a HD ( at least in USA ) is the peace of mind knowing that if I'm on the road and the tire goes flat or I need service of some kind, it is fairly easy and quick to get back...
