4 recalls across 8 model years
The Aston Martin V12 Vantage has 4 recalls spanning 2006 to 2016, with the most serious being a seat heater wiring defect on 2006 models where the heaters can stay on even when switched off, overheating sections of the seat and raising the risk of fire or burns to occupants.
On 2012 models, the accelerator pedal arm can fail and drop the throttle to idle, cutting engine power unexpectedly. The sudden loss of propulsion can create a hazardous situation depending on traffic and road conditions at the time.
The 2011-2016 model years share a door latch issue where the interior unlocking mechanism may not release when the car has been locked from outside, potentially trapping an occupant inside the cabin. The 2010-2012 Coupe has a tire pressure monitoring system that does not trigger the low-pressure warning light until front tires are more than 25% below the recommended pressure, which can allow tires to overheat and fail before the driver receives any alert.
