The 2017 Aston Martin DB11 has 4 recalls, the most serious being a risk of the driver's frontal airbag deploying without a crash, which can startle the driver and cause a collision.
A broken clock spring combined with insufficient grounding in the steering components can allow an electrostatic discharge to trigger the airbag unexpectedly. There is a separate but related airbag concern: the fasteners securing the front seat airbags may not have been tightened correctly, which can cause those airbags to deploy improperly in a crash and raise the risk of injury to the occupant. On the safety systems side, the tire pressure monitoring system may be calibrated incorrectly, meaning the low-pressure warning light may not come on when a tire drops below the minimum safe pressure, leaving the driver unaware of an underinflated tire that could eventually fail at speed.

At a glance
What can fail
The driver's front air bag may suddenly deploy if static electricity builds up and the air bag clockspring is broken, due to weak electrical grounding in the steering components.
What the fix does
Dealers will add proper electrical grounding to the steering components to prevent static electricity buildup.
