2018 MacBook Pros crashing with "Bridge OS" error

Another affected MBP 2018 user here...after getting it back from repair (it gave up its ghost entirely a few weeks ago, black screen and nothing else), which stated that pretty much everything was swapped out (circuit board, screen assembly, top-case, and cable leading to fingerprint sensor), it now reboots itself pretty much every night with a kernel panic that has this as the first lines in the log:
{"caused_by":"macos","macos_version":"Mac OS X 10.14.6 (18G103)","os_version":"Bridge OS 4.0 (17P572)","macos_system_state":"running","incident_id":"1EC36DAA-EFE8-42E2-8ED9-DF2F9E5F64F1","timestamp":"2019-10-15 18:30:15.38 +0000","bug_type":"210"}
I am soooo tired of the new Apple and paying nearly $5k for *this*?!

Mine is doing the exact same thing since getting everything internal replaced too. One message after restart in the middle of the night said something about trouble going into sleep mode. Appears that all the security settings for apps getting full disk access, etc. were deleted.

On mine, it is, yes.
There is something I found to be reproducible: only when put my MBP to sleep does this happen...when I leave it running normally, simply lowering the brightness on my internal and external screens to 0, it will remain running all night without incident...but *every* time I use the sleep button on my Touch Bar before leaving my MBP, it will panic within half an hour or less.
I should also mention that I am powering it through a CalDigit T3 dock (excellent product!) which also drives my external LG 5K display, 4 USB 3.1 drives, and an attached CalDigit T4 RAID5 drive...I saw the LG 5K display mentioned in connection with this condition, so I wonder what role it might play in all of this if any.
I suppose I could/should test this without the CalDigit T3 dock attached, but being that I rely on it for my work, I am reluctant to do so...but for testing purposes, I suppose, it would be good to eliminate all potential culprits.
Anyone else seeing this happen under certain conditions, but not others?
Just would like to ask whether any MacBook Pro user installed Windows 10 (Bootcamp) and Are there any more Kernel Panic running win 10 on bootcamp?? Thanks
Bought iMAC PRO yesterday, 14 cores, 64GB RAM. Spent $8,000 or so. I thought this beast can handle anything. Computer just crashed while I was working on it 5 minutes ago. I had no clue they had this defect for more than a year now. Very disappointing.

you may wanna return it because at this point it's safe to assume that the T2 crashes are not necessarily software related and they are probably related to a hardware problem (T2 chips)!
This is the third one. I've started with basic iMac pro and, after almost two weeks of struggle, i brought it back to store. I have not done any investigation into this issue since I thought it is an isolated hardware problem. I have exchanged it for the same one. It crashed on the same day. I ordered online the one on steroids. Same problem.
Yea I feel you, this has been a very annoying situation for most people (myself included). And at this rate I don't know what the solution is.
What I hate the most is the fact that when you tell Apple about this, via phone or in person (with their so called "geniuses"), they pretend as if the customer is crazy and the issue is not even an issue or doesn't exist at all...
This makes this whole situation much more ridiculous
Received my MBP 13 2018 TB back from repair. They replaced the logic board and the TouchID (besides the T2 bug type 210 problematic I had also an issue with flickering of the internal display...). Installed a freshly Mojave and migrated from Time Machine. So far i had no T2 related issues (mostly restart after/while sleep). I'll keep you informed.
I've been having the same crashes (since) 10.14.6 with Firmware 3.6 using Zoom, FaceTime etc.
Just updated to Catalina and confirm it's now 4.0 will test it out over the next few days.
Code:

I had the same issue. The "geniuses" at apple that I talked to never heard of this problem. But they did replace the logic board under warranty. My new board still has the "old" T2 chip (revision J680AP). Let's hope that the problem has been solved now.
I do use a Elgato Dock and have a BootCamp partition on the drive.
A logic board replacement usually means complete loss of all data since the SSD is on the board. Always have a backup.

No crashes so far! (But display still flickers...)

Hi, new member here. Wish I'd found this thread months ago!
I have a 2018 15mbp, 1tb, 2.9 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i9, with VEGA 20 graphics. Use Lightroom and FCPX a lot.
Has had intermittent kernel panics for about 6 months, then screen started to black out under load, first occasionally, then tens of times / day. Obviously this happened on location and laptop was unusable, sometimes screen even failed on booting. Apple were great supporting it, replaced logic board etc. Got it back this morning and it's had two kernel panics since, one with the BAD MAGIC report with no detail, and one with saying CPU Machine Check Architecture Error Dump. Both whilst idle.
My question: are they all doing this and do I have to live with an unreliable £4000 laptop, or if I can get a replacement, are the current ones better?
Any advice appreciated! Thanks.

Apple's QC has gone haywire. Very disappointing considering they now the issue and do nothing. It's more than a year now and why it's not fixed, it's beyond me. I think they don't care about it anymore.
I have the same T2 / BridgeOS versions (MBP 15 2018 i9). My situation is quite the opposite however: within a day after updating to Catalina the mac has completely stopped working on battery, only with charger plugged in. Battery status is "replace now". I have not had any power issues or crashes on Mojave.
Anyone experiencing something similar (except mmm200 upthread)?
What a mess. Plus I am like one month out of warranty so I can only imagine what they'll want to charge me for replacing logic board and battery.

Same problem after a year my 2.6ghz 15mbp had several panics yesterday, through the year i must have had about 10 in total but yesterday my laptop went on non stop loop, heavy woosh from the fans and reboot. If i somehow manage to log in properly i could do basic things like opening finder, and if i play a youtube video or open music editing software it would just crash with same 'Bridge Os' error. I then searched through forums and reinstalled high sierra no luck, later through safe mode i upgraded to Mojave again same crashes, i just switched off the machine after spending entire day, today i woke up and the laptop is has booted normally and running fine. I have only used chrome so far and some youtube videos and no crashes. I am too scared to open ableton etc and get back to work. worse my warranty just got over 2 weeks back 
I do not think apple is listening..
WE SHOULD START ONLINE PETITION.. i am pretty sure there are hundreds of us here affected by these issues, why the hold back? Clearly no solution has been given by apple after a year..

I have the kernel panics several times in a day on a new MacBook Pro 15 (bought it a few days ago).
This is the Bridge versions I have:
iBridge2,7 J780AP 4.1 (17P1081/17.16.11081.0.0,0)
I did the following things
1) I followed this procedure (the T2 chip section):
How to reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac
2) Reinstalled MacOs
Still have the kernel panics...
Has anyone solved this issue on the new MacBook Pro with the versions above?
