2017 Aston Martin DB11 recall: Tires: pressure monitoring and regulating systems

Recall at a glance

What is wrong

Aston Martin the Americas (Aston Martin) is recalling certain 2017 DB11 vehicles. The affected vehicles have a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that may be incorrectly calibrated, resulting in the low tire pressure warning tell-tale not illuminating at the required minimum activation pressure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."

Safety risk

If the driver is not warned that a tire is under-inflated, continued use may result in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
