The 2008 Aston Martin DB9 has two recalls, the more serious being a front suspension bolt that can crack and allow the lower control arm to shift, reducing the driver's ability to steer the vehicle.
The second recall involves the battery supply cable running beneath the driver's seat. When the seat is moved to its furthest rearward position, the cable can be pinched or worn through, and if the damaged cable contacts bare metal, the resulting short circuit can start a fire.
