Aston Martin Vanquish Recalls (2014-2025)
The Aston Martin Vanquish has been the subject of 3 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2014 to 2025 model years. They cluster mostly around the service brakes, power train, and latches/locks/linkages.
The Aston Martin Vanquish scores 24 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 33% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 3 campaigns span 4 model years of the Aston Martin Vanquish. The single largest affected 6,076 vehicles, over latches/locks/linkages. 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 Vanquish 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.
