The 2018 Aston Martin DB11 has 3 recalls, all involving airbags: the most serious is a driver's frontal airbag that can deploy without warning if an electrostatic discharge occurs and the airbag clockspring is broken, raising the risk of injury and loss of control.
The other two recalls affect passenger and seat-mounted airbags. On the passenger side, mounting nuts that were not fully tightened can prevent the airbag from deploying correctly in a crash. A separate issue involves front seat airbag fasteners that may also be loose, which can cause those airbags to deploy improperly when needed.
