NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V846
Manufacturer Aston Martin Lagonda of North America
Components LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
Potential Number of Units Affected 6,076
Summary
Aston Martin Lagonda of North America (Aston Martin) is recalling certain model year 2010-2015 DB9, 2010-2012 DBS, 2010-2016 V8 Vantage, 2012 Virage, 2010-2016 Rapide, 2014-2016 Vanquish, 2011-2016 V12 Vantage, and 2012-2013 V12 Zagato vehicles. The affected vehicles are equipped with interior door unlocking mechanisms that may not function when the vehicle has been locked from the outside. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 206, “Door Locks and Door Retention Components.”
Remedy
Aston Martin will notify owners, and dealers will disable the double locking feature by reprogramming the software, free of charge. The recall began August 10, 2016. Owners may contact Aston Martin customer service at 1-888-923-9988. Aston Martin’s number for this recall is RA-01-0021.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Chronology :
At the end of September 2015, Aston Martin received a copy of the NHTSA 2007 interpretation letter addressed to Keykert USA. In that letter NHTSA confirmed that a certain theft deterring double-lock function does not meet the requirements of FMVSS No.206.
Aston Martin immediately conducted an investigation to analyse the functionality of the full locking system in its vehicles in the USA, and to determine if the condition – which was compliant with European standards, was incompliant with the United States’ Door Lock requirements of 49 CFR § 571.206. Until then, we firmly believed we were fully compliant of FMVSS No.206.
Our Recall Committee met on December 11 2015 and determined that the full locking system was not compliant with the U.S. requirements, and that notification in accordance with 49 CFR Part 573 was necessary.
On January 5, 2016 Aston Martin filed for a petition for exemption from the notification and remedy requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act pursuant to 49 C.F.R Part 556, on the basis that the noncompliance was inconsequential to motor vehicle safety (the “Petition”).
Aston Martin received a letter from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on June 21 2016, which denied Aston Martin’s Petition. Aston Martin is now submitting its notification in accordance with 49 CFR Part 573.

In the subject vehicles, each door is equipped with a locking mechanism with an operating means from the interior of the vehicle. However, when the full locking system is mobilised (by double locking the vehicle), this disengages the interior operating means for unlocking the door locking mechanism. As such, the full locking system is an effective anti-theft measure. FMVSS 1 :206 – Door locks and door retention components FMVSS 2 :NR Description of the Safety Risk : In an affected vehicle, where the full locking system has been activated from the exterior, there is a risk that occupants are unable to unlock the doors from the inside of the vehicle. In relation to our 4-door sports cars (Rapide and Rapide S), this risk is the same as if a person were in a vehicle in which the child locks were engaged. However, all our vehicles have an acoustic warning device (i.e. horn), which can still be activated from the interior of the vehicle when the ignition is switched off and the full locking system is activated. Furthermore, some vehicles are fitted with an alarm system with interior detection, which is able to detect an occupant’s movement and will activate the vehicle’s alarm if the full locking mechanism is activated and occupants are detected inside the vehicle. Description of the Cause : At the end of September 2015, Aston Martin received a copy of the NHTSA 2007 interpretation letter addressed to Keykert USA. In that letter NHTSA deemed that a certain theft deterring double-lock function does not meet the requirements of FMVSS No.206. Aston Martin immediately conducted an investigation to analyse the functionality of the full locking system in its vehicles in the USA, and to determine if the condition – which is compliant with European standards, was non-compliant with the United Part 573 Safety Recall Report 15V-846 Page 3 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 States’ Door Lock requirements of 49 CFR § 571.206. Until then, we firmly believed we were fully compliant with both requirements, given they are worded identically. Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : an acoustic warning device (i.e. horn), which can still be activated from the interior of the vehicle when the ignition is switched off and the full locking system is activated. Furthermore, some vehicles are fitted with an alarm system with interior detection, which is able to detect an occupant’s movement and will activate the vehicle’s alarm if the full locking mechanism is activated and occupants are detected inside the vehicle. Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : NR Address : NR NR Country : NR Chronology : At the end of September 2015, Aston Martin received a copy of the NHTSA 2007 interpretation letter addressed to Keykert USA. In that letter NHTSA deemed that a certain theft deterring double-lock function does not meet the requirements of FMVSS No.206. Aston Martin immediately conducted an investigation to analyse the functionality of the full locking system in its vehicles in the USA, and to determine if the condition – which is compliant with European standards, was non-compliant with the United States’ Door Lock requirements of 49 CFR § 571.206. Until then, we firmly believed we were fully compliant with both requirements, given they are worded identically. Our Recall Committee met on December 11th 2015 and determined that the full locking system was not compliant with NHTSA’s interpretation of FMVSS No. 206, and that notification in accordance with 49 CFR Part 573 was necessary. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : Remedy Aston Martin will update the unsold noncompliant vehicles prior to sale. Aston Martin intends to file a petition for exemption from the notification and remedy requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act pursuant to 49 C.F. R Part 556, on the basis that this noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : The software level in the Central Electronic Module is updated.

In the subject vehicles, each door is equipped with a locking mechanism with an operating means from the interior of the vehicle. However, when the full locking system is mobilised (by double locking the vehicle), this disengages the interior operating means for unlocking the door locking mechanism. As such, the full locking system is an effective anti-theft measure. FMVSS 1 : 206 – Door locks and door retention components FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : In an affected vehicle, where the full locking system has been activated from the exterior, there is a risk that occupants are unable to unlock the doors from the inside of the vehicle. In relation to our 4-door sports cars (Rapide and Rapide S), this risk is the same as if a person were in a vehicle in which the child locks were engaged. However, all our vehicles have an acoustic warning device (i.e. horn), which can still be activated from the interior of the vehicle when the ignition is switched off and the full locking system is activated. Furthermore, some vehicles are fitted with an alarm system with interior detection, which is able to detect an occupant’s movement and will activate the vehicle’s alarm if the full locking mechanism is activated and occupants are detected inside the vehicle. Description of the Cause : At the end of September 2015, Aston Martin received a copy of the NHTSA 2007 interpretation letter addressed to Keykert USA. In that letter NHTSA deemed that a certain theft deterring double-lock function does not meet the requirements of FMVSS No.206. Aston Martin immediately conducted an investigation to analyse the functionality of the full locking system in its vehicles in the USA, and to determine if the condition – which is compliant with European standards, was non-compliant with the United States’ Door Lock requirements of 49 CFR § 571.206. Until then, we firmly believed we were fully compliant with both requirements, given they are worded identically. Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : an acoustic warning device (i.e. horn), which can still be activated from the interior of the vehicle when the ignition is switched off and the full locking system is activated. Furthermore, some vehicles are fitted with an alarm system with interior detection, which is able to detect an occupant’s movement and will activate the vehicle’s alarm if the full locking mechanism is activated and occupants are detected inside the vehicle. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 15V-846 Page 4 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : NR Address : NR NR Country : NR Chronology : At the end of September 2015, Aston Martin received a copy of the NHTSA 2007 interpretation letter addressed to Keykert USA. In that letter NHTSA confirmed that a certain theft deterring double-lock function does not meet the requirements of FMVSS No.206. Aston Martin immediately conducted an investigation to analyse the functionality of the full locking system in its vehicles in the USA, and to determine if the condition – which was compliant with European standards, was incompliant with the United States’ Door Lock requirements of 49 CFR § 571.206. Until then, we firmly believed we were fully compliant of FMVSS No.206. Our Recall Committee met on December 11 2015 and determined that the full locking system was not compliant with the U.S. requirements, and that notification in accordance with 49 CFR Part 573 was necessary. On January 5, 2016 Aston Martin filed for a petition for exemption from the notification and remedy requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act pursuant to 49 C.F.R Part 556, on the basis that the noncompliance was inconsequential to motor vehicle safety (the “Petition”). Aston Martin received a letter from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on June 21 2016, which denied Aston Martin’s Petition. Aston Martin is now submitting its notification in accordance with 49 CFR Part 573. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : Remedy Aston Martin will disable the double locking feature on all affected vehicles by reprogramming the software. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : The software level in the Central Electronic Module is updated. Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : Update the vehicle car configuration file to disable the double locking function from production date 9th December 2015 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 15V-846 Page 5 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Reimbursement Plan Owners of all potentially affected vehicles will be notified to take their vehicle to an Aston Martin dealer. The software update will be installed at no cost to the owner. Notification Schedule It is Aston Martin’s intention to notify all 6,076 customers (231 unsold cars with dealers, 5845 sold cars with customers) who are listed in the table above. Aston Martin will provide copies of the notification schedule, including mail dates for the owner letter, when available. 573.6 (c)(10) – Copies of Dealer/Owner Aston Martin will provide a representative copy of the dealer bulletin, when available.
