The 2012 Aston Martin Virage has 4 recalls, the most serious being a throttle pedal arm that can break and cause the engine to drop to idle, leaving the driver unable to accelerate and raising the risk of a crash.
A separate transmission recall affects vehicles equipped with the 6-Speed Touchtronic II Automatic: a communication error between the engine and transmission control modules can prevent the transmission's park pawl from engaging when the car is parked. If the vehicle is left on a slope without the parking brake applied, it can roll away unexpectedly. There is also a concern with the interior door unlocking mechanisms, which may fail to release when the doors have been locked from outside, potentially trapping an occupant inside the cabin.
