Does a recall affect your Aston Martin Vanquish?

Not every Aston Martin Vanquish is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

Movement of seat may damage battery supply cable

Launched 18 December 2017 DVSA recall R/2017/343 Manufacturer ref. RA-18-0026 / QN-18-0083

Defect
In some circumstances when the right side front seat is operated to its fully reward position the seat runner can compress the battery supply cable and cause the seat to damage the battery supply cable. This may cause an open circuit and/or ground the supply cable which may then overheat.
Remedy
On affected vehicles examine the battery supply cable for damage and install a routing block to ensure that the seat runner cannot compress the battery supply cable. If necessary replace the cable.
Vehicles affected
6,542 across everything the recall covers

Risk of short-circuit in battery supply cable

Launched 11 April 2016 DVSA recall R/2016/082 Manufacturer ref. RA-18-0020 & QN-18-0038

Defect
On affected vehicles the right fron seat can compress the battery supply cable. Prolonged occurences coulld cause damage to the insulation and the cable may short out
Remedy

2004 1 recall

Possibility that throttle control may be lost

Launched 19 November 2004 DVSA recall R/2004/187 Manufacturer ref. sar009

Defect
The electronic throttle pedal assembly cross shaft can become displaced from its housing following involuntary displacement of an ultrasonically domed head (LHS end). This is designed to keep the cross shaft in place along with a secondary retaining cross pin at the opposite side of the housing. With the cross shaft displaced throttle control is lost. If ignored a failed cross shaft would lead to loss of throttle control whilst driving.
Remedy
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the throttle assembly will be checked for compliance with specification. Should a non-compliance be identified the throttle pedal assembly will be replaced.
Vehicles affected
473 Vanquish vehicles
Built
10 Nov 2001 to 9 Nov 2004

  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Aston Martin Vanquish. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
  • Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
  • Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
  • Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
