RA-06-2074: Vanquish brake-assist ESP software update

Applies to

Vanquish (2024–) (2024-present).

Variants: 2025-model-year third-generation Vanquish.

Model years: 2025–2025.

VIN applicability: The report states all 25MY Vanquish require the update. US vehicles were manufactured 29 November 2024–26 February 2025; the wider production window is 14 August 2024–26 June 2025. Confirm individual VIN and market with the dealer; no sequential VIN range is supplied..

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.

Issue and owner context

The Part 573 report covers 2025-model-year Vanquish vehicles whose ESP calibration can incorrectly disable the brake vacuum pump under specific start-up conditions, reducing brake assistance.

Reported symptoms

Harder brake pedal and reduced brake assistance
Possible brake warning message or symbol

Documented cause

DTC P050FFF can incorrectly prevent the vacuum pump from generating brake-booster vacuum under the specific conditions documented in the report.

Aston Martin's repair

Aston Martin will update the ESP software on affected vehicles at no cost to the owner. The report states updated software entered 26MY production on 10 July 2025. Confirm campaign completion by VIN; this does not make the older Vanquish generation an affected model.
