BMW 6 SERIES ( 01/07/2012 – 27/09/2012) DEFECT: In individual cases the oil pump may no longer provide the required oil pressure. This may cause severe engine damage. Additionally the occurrence of critical driving situations cannot be ruled out because the oil pressure may drop suddenly while driving. The driver will usually notice a drop in the engine oil pressure due to the check control message ”Low oil Pressure”. It is also possible the engine block will be damaged and as a result engine oil may be lost.
Remedy
The oil pump will be replaced with the correct version.
