What is the ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE recall for the 2013 BMW M6? (Campaign #12V475000)

The oil pump in your vehicle is a crucial part that helps keep your engine running smoothly. It's driven by a shaft that's connected to the pump's rotor, but in certain 2013 M5, M6 Coupe, and M6 Convertible models, this connection was made incorrectly. If the shaft comes loose, your engine could lose oil pressure and suddenly shut down while you're driving, which could cause a crash.
