Aston Martin Db9: Seat May Overheat
Recall Summary Aston Martin is recalling approximately 49,794 vehicles (DB9, Vantage, Virage, One-77, DBS, and Zagato models) because a faulty control module in the front heated seats may fail to turn off, causing the seat heater to run continuously. If this happens, the seat could overheat and potentially smolder over time. Aston Martin will install additional monitoring modules and replace seat heating elements if needed to fix the problem.
