BMW M5, M6 Recalled For Exploding Engines

BMW is recalling nearly 700 2013 M5 and M6s due to the potential for catastrophic engine failure.

The recall is related to a faulty oil pump, with NHTSA's recall announcement stating

"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."

A stop-sale order was issued on September 21st, but the recall won't go into effect until later this month. Luckily, our own Alex Dykes already got his turn behind the wheel.
