Thirty Aston Martin V12 Vantage sports cars, with a combined value of more than $11.5 million, have been recalled in Australia to correct a defect with the vehicles’ tyre pressure monitors.
Sold in Australia between August 1, 2009 and October 1, 2012, the British-built luxury coupes were originally priced at $395,000 and are currently available from $386,892.
The official recall notice for the Aston Martin V12 Vantage published on the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s (ACCC) website explains:
“The vehicles have the incorrect software installed in the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
“If the pressure in the front tyres of the vehicle reduces because of a leak or puncture, the TPMS system will not give a warning to the driver until the tyre pressure is 3psi lower than the design specification.
“This may result in loss of control of the vehicle, posing a traffic hazard to the driver and other road users.”
