Defect Summary	Bmw is recalling certain model year 2013 m5, m6 coupe, and m6 convertible vehicles, manufactured from july 19, 2012, through september 11, 2012. 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.
Consequence Summary	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.
Corrective Summary	Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will replace the oil pump, free of charge. the safety recall began on november 30, 2012. owners may contact bmw at 1-800-525-7417.
Notes	Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

	While making a slow right turn the vehicle's engine suddenly shut down and immeditately restarted a few moment later. however, when the vehicle stalled all power steering was lost which was followed by multiple system failure warnings that were displayed, such as: rear differential is locked, power steering has failed, seat belt tensioner system failed and to stop driving the vehicle immediately and contact a service center immediately. i drove the vehcile into my driveway which was 100 yards away and shut the vehicle down and called orange county bmw in harriman, ny. i was told to shut the vehicle off and let it sit for ten minutes and the system should reset itself, which i did. i was told this is a common problem in the 5 series and it happens all the time from the sales anager, jeffrey martinez, to whom i spoke to about the problem. the errors cleared but i was able to recreate the failure making the same turn with the same failures occurring as listed above. if i had been driving at a higher speed this would have resulted in loss of ability to steer the vehicle. when the first failure occurred i ended up driving into the oncoming lane of traffic until i was able to forcefully steer the vehicle back into the right side of the road.
