The 2018 Aston Martin DB11 has 3 recalls, all involving the airbag system, with the most serious being a driver's frontal airbag that can deploy without warning if an electrostatic discharge occurs and the airbag clockspring is broken.
The two remaining recalls both involve fasteners that may not have been tightened correctly during assembly. On the driver's side, loose fasteners securing the front seat airbag can cause it to deploy improperly in a crash, which can redirect the bag away from the occupant or cause it to fire in an unintended direction. On the passenger side, improperly torqued locking nuts on the passenger airbag module mean the bag may not deploy correctly when needed in a crash, reducing the protection it provides.
