VIN restriction: Confirm the VIN, model variant and applicable procedure with Aston Martin; a catalogue model link does not mean every vehicle is affected

The archived PDF is the manufacturer recall report published by NHTSA, not the factory workshop procedure. Recall applicability and the remedy summary are confirmed by that report and the official campaign record.

The original source PDF is preserved unchanged. Catalogue years identify model generations, not a confirmed affected-year or VIN range.

Applicability review (2026-10-07): The manufacturer report includes Virage and identifies front-seat-heater wiring/control on vehicles manufactured July 2006–November 2014. Individual VIN and campaign eligibility remain required.
