This document is retained because it is relevant to the requested model catalogue, but its original source and exact applicability have not yet been confirmed. Do not treat the summary below as a confirmed factory instruction.
Applies to
V12 Vanquish (2001–2007) (2001-2007).
Model years: 2005–2005.
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
NHTSA records a 2005 Vanquish campaign for a throttle-pedal assembly that can move out of its housing and cause loss of throttle control. The preserved factory campaign PDF has not been located.
Reported symptoms
- Loss of throttle control associated with a displaced pedal assembly
Aston Martin's repair
The official registry remedy is dealer inspection and replacement of the throttle pedal where necessary. Confirm current campaign status for the VIN; no workshop procedure is reproduced.

Sources and evidence
Confirmed factory information
No confirmed factory source has been attached to this record yet.
The live official NHTSA query confirms campaign 04V538000 and manufacturer reference SAR009 for 2005 Vanquish.
Source status remains pending because the original factory document/PDF has not been attached. This is a registry-based campaign summary, not a factory service bulletin or workshop instruction.
The query verifies 2005-model-year eligibility, not the complete affected-year or VIN range. The 2012 and 2024 Vanquish generations are not included.
Official NHTSA registry: ReportReceivedDate "09/11/2004" uses DD/MM/YYYY; reportReceivedDate "2004-11-09T00:00:00Z" on the campaign endpoint confirms 9 November 2004. This is the registry report-received date, not a factory issue date.
