What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (tire failure leading to crash) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Aston Martin The Americas is recalling certain 2017 DB11 vehicles. The recall involves 319 vehicles equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that may be incorrectly calibrated. This defect can prevent the low tire pressure warning light from illuminating at the required minimum activation pressure, causing the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 138.

If the driver is not warned that a tire is under-inflated, continued use may result in tire failure, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Aston Martin will notify owners, and dealers will update the TPMS software free of charge. The recall began on July 18, 2017. Owners may contact Aston Martin customer service at 1-888-923-9988 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
