Plain-English summary
Aston Martin Lagonda of North America is recalling certain model year 2006-2014 DB9, V12 Vantage, V8 Vantage, DBS, and Virage vehicles. The recall covers 7,256 units manufactured between July 3, 2006, and November 5, 2014.
The defect involves the electronic control module for the driver and front passenger seat heaters. If this module fails, the seat heaters may not be able to be turned off. This can cause the seat to overheat and smolder, increasing the risk of injury to the occupant.
Aston Martin will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional module to the circuit that can interrupt power to the seat heaters if the original module fails. This repair is free of charge. The recall began in January 2015. Owners may contact Aston Martin Customer Service at 1-888-923-9988 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
