Recalls: Aston Martin V12 Vantage
Overview
Manufacturers, or importers, issue recalls for defects or faults which have the potential to cause injury. Generally, manufacturers will inform the original buyers if their vehicle is subject to a recall and of the steps required to remedy the defect or fault. Please note that the recalls below (if any) are for Australian-delivered vehicles only. Furthermore, the number of recalls should not be taken as an indication of a model’s reliability or its safety more generally.
Recalls: Aston Martin V12 Vantage
- In October 2012, a recall was issued for Aston Martin V12 Vantage vehicles that were manufactured between 1 August 2009 and 1 October 2012. In these vehicles, the incorrect software was installed in the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). If the pressure in the front tyres of the vehicle were to reduce because of a leak or puncture, the TPMS would not warn the driver until the tyre pressure was 3 psi lower than the design specification – this could result in loss of control of the vehicle, posing a traffic hazard to the driver and other road users available. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2012/13322.
- In May 2013, October 2013 and January 2014, three separate recalls were issued due to the potential for the throttle pedal lever/arm to fracture. While the initial recall was for V12 Vantage vehicles manufactured from 14 May 2012 to 10 April 2013, the second recall was for vehicles manufactured prior to 3 October 2013, and the third recall was for vehicles manufactured prior to 31 December 2013. If the throttle pedal lever fractured, the throttle would return to its idle position and the driver would be unable to control the speed of both the engine and vehicle. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please seePRA 2013/13597,PRA 2013/13799 andPRA 2014/13951.
