Recalling firm
ASTON MARTIN
Product
Vehicles: ASTON MARTIN DB9, ASTON MARTIN RAPIDE S. Units affected: 626
Reason
On affected vehicles the transmission switches have a chrome plating surround. This can interact with the printed circuit board within the switches and create an intermittent earth path to other surrounding parts In the subject vehicles this can cause the transmission to default to neutral without any driver input for gear selection resulting in a loss drive. Remedy: Replace existing switches with updated version. Brakes and steering are not affected.
