One certain M5, M6 cabriolet and M6 coupe, the oil pump drive shaft could separate from the oil pump rotor. This could lead to a sudden loss of oil pressure causing severe engine damage, and the possibility of complete engine failure while driving. Loss of vehicle propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the engine oil pump.
