ASTON MARTIN DB9 Recall

Automatic transmission parking brake may not engage

ASTON MARTIN announced a problem with the DB9 affecting a total of 3 vehicles.

Some vehicles may have been manufactured with an automatic transmission parking brake component which may not have been hardened to the correct specification. This could result in the transmission parking brake not engaging when park on the transmission is selected.

Recalled vehicles will have the parking brake pawl guide plate replaced with a quality assured item.

If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should find your nearest ASTON MARTIN dealer who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
