5 recalls across 7 model years
The BMW M6 has 5 recalls spanning 2013 through 2019, with the most serious being a 2013 model year engine oil pump defect where the drive shaft can separate from the rotor, causing sudden oil pressure loss and complete engine failure while driving.
The 2013 model year also has a driver's frontal airbag inflator that can separate from its base plate during deployment, sending metal fragments into the cabin. The 2015 model year has a driveshaft weld that can fracture and fail, cutting power to the rear wheels and leaving the vehicle unable to accelerate. On 2017 models, the seat-mounted side airbag initiator can fail to ignite, preventing the airbag from deploying in a crash. The 2014-2019 Gran Coupe trim has a third brake light that can work loose and detach from the vehicle, removing a visibility signal for following traffic and potentially becoming a road hazard.
