VIN applicability: Affected VINs are listed separately by Aston Martin. The recall action gives DB12 build dates of September 2023 to July 2024 and Vantage build dates of October 2023 to June 2024; these are build dates, not model-year labels.

Years beside model names identify production generations, not confirmed affected years. For a specific car, confirm the VIN with Aston Martin or an authorised specialist. Do not assume every vehicle in the model family is affected.
