Seat Heaters may Overheat

Aston Martin Lagonda of North America (Aston Martin) is recalling certain model year 2006-2014 DB9, V12 Vantage, V8 Vantage, DBS, and Virage vehicles manufactured July 3, 2006, to November 5, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the electronic control module for the driver and front passenger seat heaters may fail, preventing the seat heaters from being able to be turned off.

V8 Vantage (2005-2017) · DBS (2007-2012) · DB9 (2004-2016) · V12 Vantage (2009-2018) · Virage (2011-2012)

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.
