Have they just been keyed to the bike? If so they haven't been put back in properly. There is a sprung tang that holds them in. If they aren't put in right it doesn't spring out and hold..

The apprentice must have screwed up putting the locks in then.
It was a common problem on early GSA panniers
Mine were the same but its an easy DIY fix to locate the last thingy in properly
All that said if you have lost one get it back to the dealers and make them do it correctly.
Check that you can get the panniers on and off as another early issue (on mine ) was the frames n to quite true and once on the boxes could not be unlocked and removed

Same thing happened to me with brand new panniers
One dropped out en route to ferry. I got this replaced a couple of weeks ago and now another has dropped out but I haven't the energy to go back to the dealer again.
A very well placed source within the BMW network intimated that the quality is not as good on the GSA WC panniers. They actually feel flimsy compared to my last set on a GSA TC. What's a boy to do?

Mine have fell out twice on my new LC!
Had my top box changed recently due to leaking
New top box lock fell out, with mine the 7th tag in the lock was missing and was in position 6.
Quick YouTube research and moved the 6th tag and its spring to position 7, refit into top box with the help of a thin bladed screwdriver and a nice "click" and the lock is securely now fitted.
Shame the dealer got one correct and not the second one, could have easily lost it on the way home :-(
