The 2013 Aston Martin Rapide has 2 recalls, the most serious involving the automatic transmission's park pawl, which can fail to engage when the vehicle is shifted into Park and may roll unexpectedly if left on a slope without the parking brake applied.
The second recall involves the interior door unlocking mechanism, which can stop working after the vehicle has been locked from outside. If this happens, occupants inside may be unable to open the doors from within the cabin.
