Aston Martin Vantage Recalls (2010-2025)
The Aston Martin Vantage has been the subject of 12 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2010 to 2025 model years. They cluster mostly around the power train, air bags, and vehicle speed control.
The Aston Martin Vantage scores 73 out of 100 (grade B), a better-than-average recall record. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 75% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 17% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 12 campaigns span 10 model years of the Aston Martin Vantage. The single largest affected 7,256 vehicles, over seats. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common Vantage problems owners report.
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 Vantage 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.
