Thanks for the thought. After emptying my bank account (purchasing the car), the wing has begun to behave properly

I wonder if the ultimate resolution will be a recall or simply a service bulletin that will be applied only after your car demonstrates the problem?

Hmm, the shop foreman told me he knew about the wing and it was a TSB because it was a few mills off that's why it sticks, who knows.

Default My RC F wing is on its 2nd time being stuck

***My 1st post yeah!***

Just read all of your posts related to this issue and there is a lot of good info out there about this in this forum. My dealer pretty much said the same thing, they had heard about this issue. Ultimately they took the trunk apart the 1st time and put the wing in the rest position and told me that it will happen again after 500 cycles. Well after driving in ECO mode and trying to stay under 50 I reached that point again lol. SO I guess ill be going into the dealer again for the same issue on this expensive A Car!!

06 Yamaha YZF R-1
06 M3 Silver/Imola Red SMG, HK
13 GS350 F Sport Silver/Cabernet, ML
14 300S, Graphite/Black, BBD
15 RC F White/Red

It really does. AND it's not a dead giveaway if you're speeding in a 35 mph zone.

"No officer, I wasn't going 55. The wing is stuck in that position."

I Wish i could just lock mine in the UP position! Lol! Mine goes down a good bit when i wish it would just Stay Up! I think it looks so much better up, but that's just my opinion!

Doesn't the switch allow that ..??? Up all the time..??

Or is that for only when parked.... To switch up/down

Nope. It won't stay up all the time with the switch. It will always come back down after exceeding 55 or whatever speed and coming back below the threshold speed.
