Details

What's wrong: Due to a manufacturing error, the accelerator pedal arm may break.

Why it matters: If the accelerator pedal arm breaks, the engine will return to idle and the driver will be unable to maintain or increase engine speed, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Aston martin will notify owners, and dealers will replace the accelerator pedal assemblies. The recall began on February 11, 2014.
