Various types of vehicles of model years ranging between 2008 and 2014 are being recalled by Aston Martin because of an issue that has the potential to cause a crash. The recall affects just over 5,000 Rapide, Rapide S, Virage, V12 Vantage, V8 Vantage S, V8 Vantage, and DB9 automobiles. A breakage of the accelerator arm is a possibility due to a shortcoming during production. When this defect occurs, the vehicle can become stuck in idle mode, and in the middle of transit, the inability to accelerate appropriately could contribute to a crash. The recall should start by the end of this week, and owners can thus expect to hear from Aston Martin. Repairs can be sought from dealers at that time.
