Latches & locks Vehicle recall #15V846000 · 2015 · 6,076 vehicles
What's wrong: The affected vehicles are equipped with interior door unlocking mechanisms that May not function when the vehicle has been locked from the outside. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 206, "door locks and door retention components."
Why it matters: If the doors cannot be opened by an occupant from inside the vehicle, they May be trapped inside, increasing their risk of injury.
The fix: Aston martin will notify owners, and dealers will disable the double locking feature by reprogramming the software, free of charge. The recall began August 10, 2016.
