Defect
BMW is recalling certain model year 2013 M5, M6 Coupe, and M6 Convertible vehicles, manufactured from July 19, 2012, through September 11, 2012. Due to a manufacturing process error, the tolerance between the engine oil pump's drive shaft and the pump's rotor was not within specification. As a result, the pump's driveshaft could separate from the rotor.
Consequence
Separation of the pump's driveshaft from the rotor could lead to a sudden loss of oil pressure causing the possibility of complete engine failure, resulting in an engine stall-like condition, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Corrective Action
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the oil pump, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during October 2012. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-525-7417.

5 common questions answered
NHTSA identifies two safety recalls for the 2013 BMW M6. The air bag defect involves a driver's frontal inflator that may have been improperly welded; during deployment, its housing could separate and send metal toward occupants, potentially causing serious injury or death. The engine defect could allow the oil pump driveshaft to separate from the rotor, causing sudden oil-pressure loss, possible engine failure, and an engine stall-like condition that raises crash risk. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved, even when the vehicle seems to operate normally. A prompt VIN check helps determine whether either remedy remains open.
