BMW 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.
The short version
BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC reported a problem with the engine and engine cooling engine. Here is what owners need to know.
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.
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.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the oil pump, free of charge.
