ASTON MARTIN Recalls

2024–2025 ASTON MARTIN Vanquish

A software error may cause the vacuum pump to malfunction. As a result, braking assistance could be reduced, requiring greater pedal force and potentially increasing the vehicle’s stopping distance.

2022–2024 ASTON MARTIN DBX707- Vantage - DB12

Due to a manufacturing defect, oil cooler lines could burst resulting in a sudden loss of oil pressure. This could lead to the engine stalling or an oil leak. An oil leak in the presence of an ignition source may cause a vehicle fire.

2022–2023 ASTON MARTIN DBX

2020–2023 ASTON MARTIN DBX (all models)

The fixings for the fuse box cables may not have been tightened to the correct torque. This could lead to a sudden loss of motive power, loss of headlights and power assisted steering, and/or loss of other essential vehicle functions. Note: Hazard warning lights may appear on the instrument cluster to alert the driver that multiple vehicle functions are not fully operational.

0 ASTON MARTIN DB11

Inadvertent deployment of the driver's airbag may occur on affected vehicles if there is an electrostatic discharge (ESD) combined with a damaged steering column control module clock spring and an insufficient grounding of the steering column upper. The driver will be alerted to a potential fault by the airbag warning in the instrument cluster and an additional warning message.

2008–2016 ASTON MARTIN DB9, DBS, VIRAGE, RAPIDE & VANQUISH

A communication error between the Engine Control Module (ECM) software and the Transmission Control Module (TCM) can cause the transmission park pawl to be held out. When the transmission park pawl is held out, this can let the vehicle roll away from its parked position. This problem can occur when all of the following conditions are met: a) the vehicle key is removed from the ignition control and the engine speed is more than 450 rpm; b) the driver does not select Park; c) the driver does not engage the park brake; d) the vehicle is not parked on level ground; and e) there is a communication error between the ECM and the TCM.

2004–2016 ASTON MARTIN DBS, DB9, VANQUISH 2013 ONWARDS & VIRAGE

On the affected vehicles, it is possible in some circumstances that when the right side front seat is operated to its fully rearward position that the seat runner can compress the battery supply cable and cause the seat to damage the battery supply cable. This can occur when the following conditions occur: a) The seat has lost its calibration; b) The seat calibration has not been correctly re-learned; c) The right front seat is operated to its fully rearward position.

The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) for the affected vehicles was calibrated incorrectly and as a result, does not illuminate the low tyre pressure warning at the required minimum activation pressure.

2010–2013 ASTON MARTIN V8 VANTAGE

A connector in the hydraulic system for the 7-speed Auto-Shift Manual (ASM) transmission may not have sufficient support. The connector is between the pipe for the clutch fluid and the ASM system. It is possible that this connector can fail and cause loss of the clutch fluid.

2010–2012 ASTON MARTIN V8 VANTAGE

Service Action SA-07-0209 was issued to update the transmission software on a quantity of Aston Martin V8 Vantage vehicles with SportShift II transmission. The Service Action did not give instructions to delete the stored clutch adaptions and wear-index data and in some conditions, the stored clutch settings are not compatible with the software update. This can cause: • At some throttle positions, the transmission miss a gearchange without control from the driver. In some cases, this can result in the vehicle selecting neutral. If this happens, the driver can still use the gear select paddles to select a gear. • The clutch can slip and overheat. If this happens, the transmission will go into a 'clutch protection' mode. The engine Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) will come on and gearchanges will be abrupt until the temperature of the clutch falls. Normal gear change will then return. This function protects the clutch from damage.

2006–2014 ASTON MARTIN ASSORTED MODELS (SEE FILE)

Damage to the insulation of the electrical harness that controls the seat heater can lead to a component failure in the electronic control module of the seat heater mat. In a vehicle with a failed electronic control module, if the ignition is switched on, there is a permanent power feed to the seat heater mat.

0 ASTON MARTIN DB9 & RAPIDE S

A number of Aston Martin DB9 and Rapide S vehicles contain printed circuit boards (“PCB”) within the transmission control switches, which may be defective. If the vehicle is affected the transmission will revert to neutral gear without driver input for gear selection.
