2013 BMW 5 Series Recalls

The 2013 BMW 5 Series has 3 recalls, the most serious being a risk of sudden engine failure on M5, M6 Cabriolet, and M6 Coupe models, where the oil pump drive shaft can separate and cause an immediate loss of oil pressure while driving.

On diesel-equipped models, an internal leak in the exhaust gas recirculation cooler can allow coolant to mix with engine soot, which can damage the engine over time. There is also a lighting concern where the rear reflex reflectors do not meet Canadian safety standards, reducing how visible the vehicle is to other drivers at night or in poor conditions and raising the risk of a collision.

What can fail

The EGR cooler may leak internally, allowing coolant to mix with diesel soot. This can create smouldering particles that melt the intake manifold, risking fire.

What the fix does

Dealers will inspect and replace the EGR cooler if needed. If internal leakage is found, the intake manifold will be replaced and the EGR pipe cleaned.
