Default Code P0012

Hi guys
My 2017 eco 3.5l threw P0012. Cam shaft bank 1 retarded

Frig .thoughts ?

Haven't noticed any driveability issues. I reset it and gonna take it for a spin.

This is bad or just a hiccup?

125,000kms and yes I have the cold start rattle.

Code came getting onto a freeway and I wasn't even gunning it.

Are you running a mobile 2-way radio of any sort? RFI can trigger the code. Could also been caused by a little dirt in the oil that went through the VCT.

By this I mean a number like P0012:01-05 (for example)

The number after the colon indicates the failure mode which can be helpful when troubleshooting. The number after the dash is the number of occurrences in hexidecimal.
