Aston’s major recall

Aston Martin has issued a recall notice affecting more than 17,000 cars built since 2007, including every left-hand-drive example constructed in this time and all right-hand-drive cars built since May 2012.

The recall is to replace a part of the accelerator pedal provided by a Chinese supplier and found not to be an official DuPont component but a copy.

No faults or failings have been reported, but anyone owning an Aston Martin that falls under the recall notice should contact their nearest dealer to have the part replaced.
