Service Advisory - Warter Pump

Just made an appointment for a yearly oil change, and was told there is a service advisory for the water pump. Service advisor didn't have any additonal information.
Anyone aware of this issue, and what it entails?

Water Pump Recall

I Googled this, and found an article from Oct 2011 where BMW is recalling certain turbocharged models due to the potential for fire. Apparently, there is an auxiliary water pump serving the intercoolers which can overheat and cause a fire in a circuit board. It's been over a month since BMW issued the recall, but this is the first I've heard of it. Must not be a big emergency?

Had my 2011 X5 5.0 in for "Increased Battery Discharge" error this week and while it was in the auxiliary water pump was replaced under the campaign.
