Aston Martin Vantage Recalled Over Gearbox Software Issue
Aston Martin has recalled 1,658 Vantage models due to an issue with the gearbox software.
British carmaker Aston Martin has recalled 1,658 Vantage models equipped with the Sportshift automatic gearbox due to an issue with the software.
The affected models are equipped with Sportshift I and Sportship II automated manual gearbox manufactured between June 2010 and September 2013.
CEO of Aston Martin, Andy Palmer said, “In the normal course of events, when you make a software change, you have to re-teach the engagement position of the clutch. And most of our dealers around the world automatically did that.”
Palmer stated that if it is not done correctly, the car could stall. If at all this happens, the power to the assisted brakes and hydraulic steering can cut off.
Palmer added, “I blame us. Basically we should have explicitly said within the service action for the software that we should re-teach the clutch." The Vantage was first recalled in China. Some customers have been complaining about the software issue from 2014.
DriveSpark Thinks!
This recall from Aston Martin is positive proof that even big names in the auto industry can get things wrong. But the good thing is that the manufacturer is rectifying the issue by recalling the affected models.
