What is wrong

Aston Martin Lagonda of North America (Aston Martin) is recalling certain model year 2014 DB9 and Rapide S vehicles manufactured June 2013 to July 2014. Due to a faulty circuit board, the transmissions in the affected vehicles may inadvertently shift to neutral without input from the driver.

Aston Martin will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected circuit boards, free of charge. The recall began in October 2014. Owners may contact Aston Martin customer service at 1-[removed]. Aston Martin's number for this recall is RA-07-0018.
