Rotary Light Switch Repair Process

Applies to

DB11 (2016-2023), DBS Superleggera (2018-2023), Vantage V8 (2018-2023).

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

Aston Martin documents a reinforcing-bracket repair for a loose, damaged, or detached rotary master light switch on DB11, DBS, and Vantage vehicles.

Reported symptoms

• Loose rotary headlight selector
• Fog-light button or centre section moves or detaches
• Exterior lighting controls become difficult to operate

Aston Martin's repair

Aston Martin reinforces the damaged plastic mounting areas with a horseshoe bracket and longer screws rather than treating complete master-switch replacement as the only option.

Factory labour time: 0.25 hours. Confirm all diagnostic, parts, and dealer charges separately.
