I haven't heard of any. But if the light has been on and you blow the engine that's expensive.

flat bed immediately to dealer- fuel pump is the 'common' failure here, oil is like your aorta

by 'common' i mean 4 or 5 people amidst a few thousand that post and visit the forum, but really, you want oil pressure to be rock steady.

pressure should rise and fall with revs, but if that light even goes amber, get it fixed immediately.

Dealer

As I said earlier, you are playing with fire here. It could be just a bad sensor and you'll be fine driving it. But if its a bad pump, no more engine for you if you keep driving. Get it looked at ASAP.
Hope it all works out for you!!!
