Reason for this Safety Recall Action NHTSA ID: 18V-065.
Aston Martin has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists on DB11 models manufactured between June 2016 and November 2017.
On certain DB11 vehicles an electrostatic discharge (ESD), when combined with a damaged steering column control module clock spring and an insufficient grounding of the steering column upper, may lead to an inadvertent deployment of the driver airbag, which can increase the risk of injury and a crash. This Safety Recall Action gives instructions on how to install a contact bridge and a contact spring to the steering column. These components will remove the static charge from the steering wheel.
To correct this problem you must install two grounding components to the steering column.
The full list of VINs for the affected vehicles is on the Dealer Communication System (DCS) portal as an attachment to this Safety Recall Action document.
PLEASE DO A CHECK OF ALL VEHICLES THAT ARE IN THE AFFECTED VIN LIST
Legal Requirements
The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, as amended, provides that each vehicle which is subject to a recall campaign of this type must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the owner has tendered it for repair. Failure to repair within sixty (60) days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time.
If the condition is not adequately repaired within a reasonable time, the owner may be entitled to an identical or reasonable equivalent vehicle at no charge, or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation.
To avoid having to provide these difficult solutions, every effort must be made to promptly schedule an appointment with each owner and to repair their vehicle as soon as possible. As you will see in reading the attached copies of the letters that are being sent to Owners, the Owners are being instructed to contact Aston Martin Customer Service if their Dealer does not correct the condition within three (3) days of the mutually agreed upon service date. If the condition is not corrected within a reasonable time, they are instructed on how to contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

ASTON MARTIN CLIENT SERVICES 24 January, 2018 Page 1 of 8 S A F E T Y R E C A L L A C T ION Reference number: RA-01-1048 Issued: 24 January, 2018 Subject: Install Steering Column Grounds Model(s): DB11 VIN range: See attached VIN list Applicable to: All Dealers Distribute to: After Sales Manager Executive Manager Service Manager Sales Manager Warranty Staff Technician(s) Parts Staff Attached Documents: 1. Appendix A – Table that Shows the Quantities of Affected Vehicles Reason for this Safety Recall Action NHTSA ID: 18V-065. Aston Martin has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists on DB11 models manufactured between June 2016 and November 2017. On certain DB11 vehicles an electrostatic discharge (ESD), when combined with a damaged steering column control module clock spring and an insufficient grounding of the steering column upper, may lead to an inadvertent deployment of the driver airbag, which can increase the risk of injury and a crash. This Safety Recall Action gives instructions on how to install a contact bridge and a contact spring to the steering column. These components will remove the static charge from the steering wheel. To correct this problem you must install two grounding components to the steering column. The full list of VINs for the affected vehicles is on the Dealer Communication System (DCS) portal as an attachment to this Safety Recall Action document. PLEASE DO A CHECK OF ALL VEHICLES THAT ARE IN THE AFFECTED VIN LIST Legal Requirements The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, as amended, provides that each vehicle which is subject to a recall campaign of this type must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the owner has tendered it for repair. Failure to repair within sixty (60) days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not adequately repaired within a reasonable time, the owner may be entitled to an identical or reasonable equivalent vehicle at no charge, or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation. To avoid having to provide these difficult solutions, every effort must be made to promptly schedule an appointment with each owner and to repair their vehicle as soon as possible. As you will see in reading the attached copies of the letters that are being sent to Owners, the Owners are being instructed to contact Aston Martin Customer Service if their Dealer does not correct the condition within three (3) days of the mutually agreed upon service date.
