Aston Martin DB11 Recalls (2017-2019)
The Aston Martin DB11 has been the subject of 4 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2017 to 2019 model years. They cluster mostly around the air bags and tires.
The Aston Martin DB11 scores 39 out of 100 (grade D), a busier recall record than most. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 100% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 0% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 4 campaigns span 3 model years of the Aston Martin DB11. The single largest affected 1,027 vehicles, over air bags. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Aston Martin DB11 may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
