The 2007 Aston Martin DB9 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a front suspension bolt that can crack and break, allowing the lower control arm to shift and causing the driver to lose steering control.
The suspension issue affects the cam bolt that holds the front lower control arm in position. If the bolt snaps, the control arm can move out of alignment mid-drive, making the vehicle difficult or impossible to steer accurately. There is also an electrical concern: the battery supply cable runs in a location where it can be pinched or worn through when the driver's seat is moved to its full rearward position. If the cable is damaged and contacts a ground, it can cause a short circuit and start a fire.
