Aston Martin DB11 Recall 17V411: Low tire pressure warning may not alert driver

What this recall means for you

The tire pressure monitoring system on certain 2017 vehicles may be incorrectly calibrated. As a result, the low tire pressure warning light may not turn on when a tire reaches the minimum pressure it should trigger at, so the vehicle may not meet federal tire pressure monitoring requirements.

If the driver is not warned that a tire is under-inflated, continued driving can lead to tire failure, which raises the risk of a crash. Check your tire pressures regularly by hand, especially before long trips, and do not rely on the warning light alone.

The repair is free. Dealers will update the tire pressure monitoring system software at no charge. Owners will be notified, or can contact Aston Martin customer service at 1-888-923-9988 (recall number RA-13-0025). You can also check your VIN for open recalls.
