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.","remedy":"BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the oil pump, free of charge.  The safety recall began on November 30, 2012.  Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-525-7417.","notes":"Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.","mfr_campaign":null,"part_number":null,"units":696,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":true,"park_outside":false,"notification":null,"french":null,"vehicles":[{"year":2013,"make":"BMW","model":"M5","vehicle_id":"2013_bmw_m5","match":"exact","built_from":"2012-07-19","built_to":"2012-09-11"},{"year":2013,"make":"BMW","model":"M6","vehicle_id":"2013_bmw_m6","match":"exact","built_from":"2012-07-19","built_to":"2012-09-11"}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":[],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/nhtsa/12V475000"}
