Checking the game files reveals:

Code:
# Wilhelm II dies
country_event = {
    id = wtt_germany.26
    title = wtt_germany.26.t
    desc = wtt_germany.26.d
    picture = GFX_report_event_generic_funeral

    fire_only_once = yes
 
    trigger = {
        tag = GER
        has_government = neutrality
        has_completed_focus = GER_revive_the_kaiserreich
        date > 1938.1.1
        has_country_leader = { ruling_only = yes name = "Wilhelm II" }
    }

    mean_time_to_happen = {
        days = 1095    # Died in 1941
    }
 
    #ok I guess
    option = {
        name = wtt_germany.26.a
        kill_country_leader = yes
        create_country_leader = {
            name = "Wilhelm III"
            desc = "POLITICS_WILHELM_III_DESC"
            picture = GFX_portrait_ger_wilhelm_iii
            expire = "1965.1.1"
            ideology = despotism
            traits = {
                popular_figurehead2
            }
        }
    }
}

As far as I know, this is not a bug. He has a MTTH death of 1095 days after Jan. 1st, 1938 (so 3 years on average, making 1940/1941 the most likely year of his death). You're just really unlucky.

This is correct.

However, due to the amount of feedback of people being unlucky and upset, I've added one year to the guaranteed lifespan of Wilhelm II, and another year to the MTTH, making his average death date now 1943. This'll hopefully go into a future patch.

I figured his death was randomized and I don't really mind because it makes sense he wouldn't always die on the correct year. The only reason it's a problem is the achievement. Random factors in achievements that you have no control over are pretty frustrating. If they want it done before 1938 then that should be in the requirements so people know to rush it, otherwise it should be doable as long as Germany has restored the monarchy.
