Recalls

1 vehicle recall from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.

Seats Vehicle recall #14V753000 · 2014 · 7,256 vehicles

What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the electronic control module for the driver and front passenger seat heaters May fail, preventing the seat heaters from being able to be turned off.

Why it matters: If the electronic control module fails, the seat heater could get hot enough that areas of the seat May overheat and smolder, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.

The fix: Aston martin will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional module to the circuit that can interrupt the power to the seat heaters in case the electronic control module for the seat heaters fails, free of charge. The recall began in January 2015.
