Details

What's wrong: The driver's frontal air bag may unexpectedly deploy due to insufficient grounding of the steering components if an electrostatic discharge occurs and the air bag clockspring is broken.

Why it matters: If the driver air bag inadvertently deploys, it can increase the risk of injury and a crash.

The fix: Aston martin will notify owners, and dealers will add sufficient grounding to the steering components, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 2018.
