I can't imagine a cracked turn signal will be covered by the warranty. This is the first strike against RE for me. No one should have to inspect their new motorcycle for such defects.
If you think its a defect, it should be covered as long as it wasn't caused by physical damage, just give the dealer a call. The lights are inexpensive compared to many machines. You can order them online at

What do your billet turn/running lights look like and who made them? I would have a concern about turns/running light combos just because the turn can be washed out when really close to a bright beam, but it might be well engineered and would be convenient. I do like the round signals we have and they are cheap enough and easy enough to fix, I've been tempted to mod mine with some rubber hose for the stalk and also just to design and 3d print something interesting. Using a multi-color printer, some transparent sections would allow light to escape to the side and back if desired. Still think someone should crank out replacement lenses as they get scuffed over time anyway, I'm writing that down on my products I would make list now.They are thin, hard plastic and mine fell apart PDQ, a couple of Roo/ deer strikes will finish them.
There are plenty similar after market alternatives, some with a hard rubber body which stand up to rough use a bit better.
I opted for billet LEDs on the front which also incorporated 10 watt LED running lights, light compact and low cost solution.
Tiny OEM cables might require a review of your current crimp tool and connectors, though, and make certain the wires are tied/stuck up so they are not waving around in the wind - DAHIK!
