Transport Canada recall 2014543 · manufacturer campaign RA-01-0019

3 December 2014

Transport Canada lists: DB 9 2006–2014 · DBS 2006–2014 · V 12 2006–2014 · Vantage 2006–2014 · and 1 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a defect in the seat heater wiring could cause the front seat heaters to remain on even when the control switch is in the "off" position. This could cause certain areas of the seats to overheat, which could result in injury to seat occupants and increase the risk of a fire causing damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will install an additional module which will isolate power supply in the event of a malfunction.

Transport Canada recall 2014012 · manufacturer campaign RA-03-0017

21 January 2014

Transport Canada lists: DB 9 2012–2013 · DBS 2012–2013 · Rapide 2012–2013 · V 12 2012–2013 · and 3 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the accelerator pedal arm may fail. This would cause the throttle control to return to the idle position, causing a reduction in engine power and propulsive force. Loss of vehicle propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the accelerator pedal assembly and adjust the foot well scuff plate. Note: This recall supersedes recalls 2013185 and 2013367. Vehicles that were repaired under the previous campaigns will also need to be repaired under this campaign.
