Summary
The Aston Martin DBX has 9 recalls spanning 2020 through 2025, with the most serious being an oil cooler hose that can burst on 2023-2024 DBX707 models, causing sudden oil loss and pressure drop that can stall or seize the engine and create a fire risk.
On the same theme, 2022 models have a separate oil cooler hose defect where the hoses can fail and leak oil, cutting power to the wheels and also risking an engine fire. Loose battery fuse box wiring on 2021-2024 vehicles can cause the engine to stall or knock out the headlights and power steering assist while driving. The 2020 model year has a related fuse box issue where power cables can work loose and overheat, with the same potential consequences of stall, headlight loss, steering loss, and fire risk. On 2021 models specifically, the fasteners holding the front propeller shaft and front differential can be insufficiently tight, which can result in a loss of front drive or an engine stall. Still on 2021s, rear suspension pins can slide out of the lower suspension arms, causing the arms to crack or break and leading to a loss of vehicle control along with potential damage to the rear brakes that extends stopping distances. The 2021 model year also has a headliner defect where foam blocks were omitted from the overhead interior, reducing head protection in a crash. The 2025 model year has a tire pressure monitoring system that can fail to illuminate its warning light when tire pressure drops, leaving the driver unaware of conditions that can cause poor handling or a tire failure.
